Jaggo Judgment on Regularisation - The Supreme Court's judgment in Jaggo v. Union of India emphasizes that long-serving employees performing continuous and essential duties are entitled to regularisation, provided they meet the criteria set forth in applicable rules and policies. The Court clarified that regularisation cannot be denied solely on technical grounds or ad-hoc status if the employee's service has been continuous and bona fide Sukanta Muduli vs State of Odisha - Orissa, Sushil Kumar Kar vs State of Odisha - Orissa, Gaurav Madan Bhangare vs Nashik Municipal Corporation - Bombay.
Legal Principles and Criteria - The judgment reiterates that regularisation depends on factors such as duration of service, nature of duties, and the existence of sanctioned posts. It highlights that mere temporary or irregular employment does not negate entitlement if the employee's service has been continuous and their role essential Sukanta Muduli vs State of Odisha - Orissa, Sushil Kumar Kar vs State of Odisha - Orissa, Port Officer vs Secretary - Gujarat.
Precedent and Judicial Clarifications - The Court referenced earlier rulings, including Uma Devi and other cases, to establish that regularisation is a matter of policy and legality, and employees with long, uninterrupted service should be considered for regularisation unless explicitly barred by rules. The judgment also clarifies that regularisation cannot be extended to employees in purely ad-hoc or casual roles lacking sanctioned posts Sukanta Muduli vs State of Odisha - Orissa, Travancore Devaswom Board vs Deputy Examiner For Local Fund Audit Kerala State Audit Department - Kerala.
Implications for Employees - Employees working in government or public sector roles for extended periods, especially in essential services, have a legitimate right to seek regularisation. The Court directed authorities to consider representations and prepare lists for regularisation, emphasizing that continued service should be recognized and regularisation should not be arbitrarily denied Sukanta Muduli vs State of Odisha - Orissa, Gaurav Madan Bhangare vs Nashik Municipal Corporation - Bombay, AJU SEBASTIAN vs UNION OF INDIA - Kerala.
Limitations and Exceptions - The judgment notes that part-time, temporary, or irregular workers without sanctioned posts are generally not entitled to regularisation.
