        HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE VINIT KUMAR MATHUR

                                       Order

09/01/2026
1.    Heard learned counsel for the parties.

2.    Since the present batch of writ petitions arises out of a

common      judgment       rendered        by     the     Central    Administrative

Tribunal, Jodhpur (hereinafter referred to as 'the Tribunal'),

therefore, the same is being disposed of by this common order.

3.    Briefly noted the facts relevant in the present cases are that

the petitioners were working as Casual Workers in the respondent-

Department and the period of their working ranges between 15

years to 25 years. The services of the petitioners in the

respondent-department were without any interruption. Some of

the employees approached the Tribunal by way of filing original

applications in the year 2011 with the prayer that their services

may be regularized, however, the relief sought for was not granted

 [2026:RJ-JD:1183-DB]                 (28 of 38)                           [CW-5318/2025]


by the Tribunal. Thereafter, some more original applications were

filed by some of the similarly situated employees, but, the prayer

for regularization was not granted. The petitioners after having

litigated all these years again preferred the original applications

before the Tribunal in the year 2020 with the prayer that the

petitioners are serving in the department on different posts and

they have rendered the services for more than 10 years, their

services may be regularised, however, the original applications

filed   by   the   petitioners      were       dismissed           vide   order   dated

06.12.2024. Hence, the present writ petitions have been filed.

4.      Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submit that the

petitioners are working on different posts (different works) in the

respondent department for more than 10 years and they are

discharging their services without any interruption. Learned

counsel further submit that there is perennial nature of work

available in the respondent department and, therefore, the

department is required to consider their cases for regularization.

To buttress their contention, learned counsel for the petitioners

relied upon the following judgments of the Hon'ble Supreme Court

in the cases of:-

(1) Secretary, State of Karnataka and Anr. Vs. Uma Devi

and Ors. reported in 2006 (4) SCC 1,

(2) Narendra Kumar Tiwari Vs. State of Jharkhand, reported

in 2018 (8) SCC 238,

(3) Jaggo vs. Union of India (UOI) (SLP (C) No.5580 of

2024) decided on 20.12.2024,

 [2026:RJ-JD:1183-DB]                 (29 of 38)                       [CW-5318/2025]


(4) Shripal and Ors. vs. Nagar Nigam, Ghaziabad (Civil

Appeal No.8157 of 2024) decided on January 31, 2025,

(5)   Dharam Singh and Ors. vs. State of U.P. and Ors.,

reported in 2025 AIR Supreme Court 3897.

      It is also contended that in similar set of facts in other

States, respondent department has regularized the services of

other employees working like the petitioners on respective posts.

Learned counsel, in these circumstances, very fairly submit that

the petitioners will be satisfied if a direction is issued to the

respondent department to reconsider the cases of the petitioners

for regularization keeping in mind the provisions of notification

dated 17.01.2011 as well as subsequent notifications issued by

the Central Government and the judgments rendered by the

Hon'ble Supreme Court in the cases mentioned above.

5.    Per contra, learned counsel for the respondent department is

not in a position to refute the submissions made by learned

counsel for the petitioners that all the petitioners are serving in

the department for last more than 10 years. He however submits

that on earlier        occasion,      the cases          of    the petitioners   for

regularization were considered and since they were not falling

within the ambit of the guidelines enshrined in the case of Uma

Devi (supra), therefore, their services were not regularized.

However, learned counsel for the respondent department very

fairly submits that the cases of the petitioners for regularization

shall be reconsidered in the light of applicable notification dated

17.01.2011 as well as other subsequent notifications for the posts

in question keeping in mind the judgments rendered by Hon'ble

                        (Uploaded on 14/01/2026 at 02:02:28 PM)

Supreme Court mentioned above. Learned counsel assures this

Court that fair and impartial consideration for regularizing the

services of the petitioners will be made by the department

expeditiously.

6.    We have considered the submissions made at the bar and

also gone through the relevant record of the case including the

order impugned.

7.    The petitioners are serving the respondent department for

last more than 10 years uninterruptedly on different posts by

discharging different duties. Since, the petitioners are working in

the respondent department for more than last 10 years, therefore,

it can safely be presumed that the department has got ample

works available and, therefore, the need of the petitioners'

services in the respondent department cannot be ruled out.

8.     The Hon'ble Supreme court in the case of Jaggo vs. Union

of India (UOI) (SLP (C) No.5580 of 2024) decided on

20.12.2024 has held as under:-

      "13. The claim by the Respondents that these were
      not regular posts lacks merit, as the nature of the
      work performed by the Appellants was perennial and
      fundamental to the functioning of the offices. The
      recurring nature of these duties necessitates their
      classification as regular posts, irrespective of how
      their initial engagements were labelled. It is also
      noteworthy that subsequent outsourcing of these
      same tasks to private agencies after the Appellants'
      termination demonstrates the inherent need for these
      services. This act of outsourcing, which effectively
      replaced one set of workers with another, further
      underscores that the work in question was neither
      temporary nor occasional.
      ..........

20. It is well established that the decision in Uma Devi (supra) does not intend to penalize employees who have rendered long years of service fulfilling ongoing and necessary functions of the State or its (Uploaded on 14/01/2026 at 02:02:28 PM) (Downloaded on 14/01/2026 at 08:30:54 PM) [2026:RJ-JD:1183-DB] (31 of 38) [CW-5318/2025] instrumentalities. The said judgment sought to prevent backdoor entries and illegal appointments that circumvent constitutional requirements. However, where appointments were not illegal but possibly "irregular," and where employees had served continuously against the backdrop of sanctioned functions for a considerable period, the need for a fair and humane resolution becomes paramount. Prolonged, continuous, and unblemished service performing tasks inherently required on a regular basis can, over the time, transform what was initially ad-hoc or temporary into a scenario demanding fair regularization. In a recent judgement of this Court in Vinod Kumar and Ors. Etc. v. Union of India and Ors. [2024] 1 S.C.R. 1230, it was held that held that procedural formalities cannot be used to deny regularization of service to an employee whose appointment was termed "temporary" but has performed the same duties as performed by the regular employee over a considerable period in the capacity of the regular employee. The relevant paras of this judgement have been reproduced below:

"6. The application of the judgment in Uma Devi (supra) by the High Court does not fit squarely with the facts at hand, given the specific circumstances under which the Appellants were employed and have continued their service. The reliance on procedural formalities at the outset cannot be used to perpetually deny substantive rights that have accrued over a considerable period through continuous service. Their promotion was based on a specific notification for vacancies and a subsequent circular, followed by a selection process involving written tests and interviews, which distinguishes their case from the appointments through back door entry as discussed in the case of Uma Devi (supra).
7. The judgement in the case Uma Devi (supra) also distinguished between "irregular" and "illegal" appointments underscoring the importance of considering certain appointments even if were not made strictly in accordance with the prescribed Rules and Procedure, cannot be said to have been made illegally if they had followed the procedures of regular appointments such as conduct of written examinations or interviews as in the present case..."

21. The High Court placed undue emphasis on the initial label of the Appellants' engagements and the (Uploaded on 14/01/2026 at 02:02:28 PM) (Downloaded on 14/01/2026 at 08:30:54 PM) [2026:RJ-JD:1183-DB] (32 of 38) [CW-5318/2025] outsourcing decision taken after their dismissal. Courts must look beyond the surface labels and consider the realities of employment: continuous, long-term service, indispensable duties, and absence of any mala fide or illegalities in their appointments. In that light, refusing regularization simply because their original terms did not explicitly state so, or because an outsourcing policy was belatedly introduced, would be contrary to principles of fairness and equity.

22. The pervasive misuse of temporary employment contracts, as exemplified in this case, reflects a broader systemic issue that adversely affects workers' rights and job security. In the private sector, the rise of the gig economy has led to an increase in precarious employment arrangements, often characterized by lack of benefits, job security, and fair treatment. Such practices have been criticized for exploiting workers and undermining labour standards. Government institutions, entrusted with upholding the principles of fairness and justice, bear an even greater responsibility to avoid such exploitative employment practices. When public sector entities engage in misuse of temporary contracts, it not only mirrors the detrimental trends observed in the gig economy but also sets a concerning precedent that can erode public trust in governmental operations.

.......................................................

25. It is a disconcerting reality that temporary employees, particularly in government institutions, often face multifaceted forms of exploitation. While the foundational purpose of temporary contracts may have been to address short-term or seasonal needs, they have increasingly become a mechanism to evade long- term obligations owed to employees. These practices manifest in several ways:

• Misuse of "Temporary" Labels:
Employees engaged for work that is essential, recurring, and integral to the functioning of an institution are often labeled as "temporary" or "contractual," even when their roles mirror those of regular employees. Such misclassification deprives workers of the dignity, security, and benefits that regular employees are entitled to, despite performing identical tasks.
            • Arbitrary Termination:                       Temporary
            employees  are frequently                       dismissed

This practice undermines the principles of natural justice and subjects workers to a state of constant insecurity, regardless of the quality or duration of their service.
            •     Lack    of    Career     Progression:
            Temporary       employees       often      find
themselves excluded from opportunities for skill development, promotions, or incremental pay raises. They remain stagnant in their roles, creating a systemic disparity between them and their regular counterparts, despite their contributions being equally significant.
• Using Outsourcing as a Shield:
Institutions increasingly resort to outsourcing roles performed by temporary employees, effectively replacing one set of exploited workers with another. This practice not only perpetuates exploitation but also demonstrates a deliberate effort to bypass the obligation to offer regular employment.
• Denial of Basic Rights and Benefits: Temporary employees are often denied fundamental benefits such as pension, provident fund, health insurance, and paid leave, even when their tenure spans decades. This lack of social security subjects them and their families to undue hardship, especially in cases of illness, retirement, or unforeseen circumstances".
9. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Shripal and Ors.

vs. Nagar Nigam, Ghaziabad (Civil Appeal No.8157 of 2024) decided on January 31, 2025 has held as under:-

"15. It is manifest that the Appellant Workmen continuously rendered their services over several years, sometimes spanning more than a decade. Even if certain muster rolls were not produced in full, the Employer's failure to furnish such records-despite directions to do so-allows an adverse inference under well-established labour jurisprudence. Indian labour law strongly disfavors perpetual daily-wage or contractual engagements in circumstances where the (Uploaded on 14/01/2026 at 02:02:28 PM) (Downloaded on 14/01/2026 at 08:30:54 PM) [2026:RJ-JD:1183-DB] (34 of 38) [CW-5318/2025] work is permanent in nature. Morally and legally, workers who fulfil ongoing municipal requirements year after year cannot be dismissed summarily as dispensable, particularly in the absence of a genuine contractor agreement. At this juncture, it would be appropriate to recall the broader critique of indefinite "temporary" employment practices as done by a recent judgment of this Court in Jaggo v. Union of India in the following paragraphs:
22. The pervasive misuse of temporary employment contracts, as exemplified in this case, reflects a broader systemic issue that adversely affects workers' rights and job security. In the private sector, the rise of the gig economy has led to an increase in precarious employment arrangements, often characterized by lack of benefits, job security, and fair treatment. Such practices have been criticized for exploiting workers and undermining labour standards. Government institutions, entrusted with upholding the principles of fairness and justice, bear an even greater responsibility to avoid such exploitative employment practices.

• Lack of Career Progression: Temporary employees often find themselves excluded from opportunities for skill development, promotions, or incremental pay raises.

This lack of social security subjects them and their families to undue hardship, especially in cases of illness, retirement, or unforeseen circumstances.
10. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Dharam Singh and Ors. vs. State of U.P. and Ors., reported in 2025 AIR Supreme Court 3897 has held as under:-
17. Before concluding, we think it necessary to recall that the State (here referring to both the Union and the State governments) is not a mere market participant but a constitutional employer. It cannot balance budgets on the backs of those who perform the most basic and recurring public functions. Where work recurs day after day and year after year, the establishment must reflect that reality in its sanctioned strength and engagement practices. The long-term extraction of regular labour under temporary labels corrodes confidence in public administration and offends the promise of equal protection. Financial stringency certainly has a place in public policy, but it is not a talisman that overrides (Uploaded on 14/01/2026 at 02:02:28 PM) (Downloaded on 14/01/2026 at 08:30:54 PM) [2026:RJ-JD:1183-DB] (36 of 38) [CW-5318/2025] fairness, reason and the duty to organise work on lawful lines.
18. Moreover, it must necessarily be noted that "ad-

hocism" thrives where administration is opaque. The State Departments must keep and produce accurate establishment registers, muster rolls and outsourcing arrangements, and they must explain, with evidence, why they prefer precarious engagement over sanctioned posts where the work is perennial. If "constraint" is invoked, the record should show what alternatives were considered, why similarly placed workers were treated differently, and how the chosen course aligns with Articles 14, 16 and 21 of the Constitution of India. Sensitivity to the human consequences of prolonged insecurity is not sentimentality. It is a constitutional discipline that should inform every decision affecting those who keep public offices running.

....................

20. We have framed these directions comprehensively because, case after case, orders of this Court in such matters have been met with fresh technicalities, rolling "reconsiderations," and administrative drift which further prolongs the insecurity for those who have already laboured for years on daily wages. Therefore, we have learned that Justice in such cases cannot rest on simpliciter directions, but it demands imposition of clear duties, fixed timelines, and verifiable compliance. As a constitutional employer, the State is held to a higher standard and therefore it must organise its perennial workers on a sanctioned footing, create a budget for lawful engagement, and implement judicial directions in letter and spirit. Delay to follow these obligations is not mere negligence but rather it is a conscious method of denial that erodes livelihoods and dignity for these workers. The operative scheme we have set here comprising of creation of supernumerary posts, full regularization, subsequent financial benefits, and a sworn affidavit of compliance, is therefore a pathway designed to convert rights into outcomes and to reaffirm that fairness in engagement and transparency in administration are not matters of grace, but obligations Under Articles 14, 16 and 21 of the Constitution of India.

11. In view of the above discussion and keeping in mind the ratio laid down in the above referred judgments rendered by Hon'ble Supreme Court, we are of the view that ends of justice will be (Uploaded on 14/01/2026 at 02:02:28 PM) (Downloaded on 14/01/2026 at 08:30:54 PM) [2026:RJ-JD:1183-DB] (37 of 38) [CW-5318/2025] met, if the cases of the petitioners for regularization are reconsidered by the respondent department taking into consideration the notification dated 17.01.2011 as well as other subsequent notifications, if any, holding the field and in the light of the authoritative pronouncements of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the cases of Jaggo, Shripal and Dharam Singh (supra).

12. Since, the petitioners are working under the respondent department for last more than 10 years, therefore, it is expected that the respondent department may reconsider the case of the petitioners for regularization of their services as one time measure keeping in mind the rules and regulations in vogue as also stand taken by it in other similar cases of regularization in other States of the Country.

13. Consequently, the writ petitions are allowed in the above terms. The order dated 06.12.2024 passed by the Tribunal is quashed and set aside.

14. The entire exercise shall be carried out by the respondent department expeditiously preferably within a period of two months from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order, strictly in accordance with law.

D.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 10660/2025 D.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 22986/2025

1. Learned counsel for the parties are in agreement that the controversy involved in the present cases is squarely covered by a judgment of even date rendered by this Court in a bunch of writ petitions led by D.B. Civil Writ Petition No.5318/2025 (Laxman Singh V/s Union of India & Ors.).
