As per case facts, a batch of Petitioners, engaged as Part-Time Sweepers on daily wages since 2011, sought regularization in Punjab National Bank (after a merger of their original employer, ... United Bank of India). Their claim for regularization was rejected, and the Bank issued advertisements for direct recruitment to subordinate posts. Petitioners challenged this rejection and the advertisements before the High Court. The question arose whether these Petitioners, with long periods of service in essential roles, were entitled to regularization, especially considering the Supreme Court's stance against exploitative temporary engagements and strict adherence to recruitment processes. Finally, the High Court, citing recent Supreme Court judgments (Jaggo, Shripal, Dharam Singh, and Bholanath), deemed the rejection and advertisements unsustainable. It directed the Bank to reconsider the Petitioners' regularization claims within two months based on these precedents, maintaining the interim protection.
