Regularisation Entitlement - Employees appointed on ad hoc basis and subsequently regularised are generally entitled to all benefits of regularisation, including pension, seniority, and service benefits. Courts have consistently held that once employees are regularised, their ad hoc or contractual service should be counted for pensionary benefits and seniority, and they should not be discriminated against. Several judgments emphasize that regularisation confers full entitlement to benefits from the date of regularisation or from the date of appointment if regularised from that point.

Counting of Ad Hoc/Contract Service - Courts have ruled that services rendered on ad hoc or contract basis, once regularised, should be counted for pension, seniority, and other service benefits. Denying such benefits post-regularisation is considered discriminatory. The courts have directed authorities to consider ad hoc or contractual service as qualifying service once regularisation occurs.

Discrimination and Legal Principles - Discrimination against employees who served on ad hoc or contract basis but were later regularised violates principles of equality. Courts have directed authorities to treat regularised employees equally and to grant benefits accordingly, emphasizing that regularisation should entail the full accrual of benefits from the date of regularisation or appointment. Ram Krishan Sharma VS Accountant General (A & E) HP - Himachal Pradesh, ANIL KUMAR KAUSHIK VS NEW OKHLA INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY - Allahabad
Final Position - The overarching legal principle is that employees regularised from ad hoc or contractual appointments are entitled to all benefits of regularisation, including pension, seniority, and other service benefits. Services rendered prior to regularisation, if counted for pension and benefits, should not be excluded, and denying such is discriminatory. Courts have consistently mandated the extension of benefits from the date of regularisation or appointment, reinforcing the principle of equality and fair treatment. Zahoor Hussain & Ors.

Conclusion:
If a person is regularised from an ad hoc or contractual basis, they are entitled to all benefits associated with regularisation, including pension, seniority, and other service benefits. The courts have established that such regularisation confers full rights retroactively, and denying these benefits on the basis of initial ad hoc or contractual appointment is discriminatory.
