Service rendered as work-charge employees must be considered for pension eligibility upon regularization, ensuring equality under law.
Pension is a right earned for past services and should not be denied arbitrarily. It is a deferred payment for past services and is not a bounty or charity.
Temporary service prior to regularization must be counted for pension eligibility to ensure fairness and justice, as established by prevailing judicial principles.
Employees regularized after 01.01.2004 can still count pre-regularization service towards pension eligibility, ensuring equitable treatment under pension rules.
