Part-time staff not entitled to seek regularisation: Supreme Court https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/part-time-staff-not-entitled-to-seek-regularisation-supreme-court/article37060060.ece October 18, 2021
“The status of permanency cannot be granted when there is no post. It is further observed that mere continuance every year of seasonal work during the period when work was available does not constitute a permanent status unless there exists a post and regularisation is done,” Justice Shah noted.
The judgment came on a plea concerning the regularisation of part-time sweepers at a post office in Chandigarh.
The court said it was a settled proposition of law, that regularisation could be only as per the policy declared by the State/Government and “nobody can claim the regularisation as a matter of right”.
