As per case facts, respondents filed Writ Petitions seeking regularization of services under a 2011 policy, having completed 17-18 years of service, and were being paid daily wages. The Single ... Judge disposed of the petitions with directions for regularization, minimum pay scale, and non-insistence on minimum qualification for long-serving employees. The State appealed, arguing that no person can be regularized without sanctioned posts or requisite qualifications, citing Uma Devi's judgment, and that daily wagers have no vested right. The question arose whether the Single Judge was justified in directing regularization and entitlement to minimum pay scale and allowances. Finally, the High Court dismissed the appeals, holding that the State cannot deny regularization to employees who rendered service for decades merely because they were daily wagers or lacked sanctioned posts/minimum qualifications, especially when their length of service was undisputed. The Court found the Single Judge's judgment to be free from patent illegality, emphasizing that denying regularization for long-serving employees on such grounds would be iniquitous.
