As per case facts, the appellants were part-time workers engaged by the respondent-Corporation between 1997 and 2014. A 1999 Punjab Government policy allowed regularization for part-time workers with ten years
...of continuous service, which the Corporation adopted but later introduced a cut-off date of 10.04.2006. Appellants completed their ten years after this date, were excluded from regularization, and their Writ Petition was dismissed by a Single Judge, prompting this appeal. The question arose whether the cut-off date of 10.04.2006 was a valid universal limitation and if these part-time workers were entitled to regularization under the 1999 Policy, particularly given that others were regularized. Finally, the High Court upheld the Single Judge's decision, stating that part-time workers not against sanctioned posts and not meeting the 10.04.2006 cut-off for ten years of service are not entitled to regularization. The Court found no legal right for regularization, no perversity in the judgment, and noted that further regularization would exceed the 25% policy ceiling.
