In Brief
A part-time Masalchi employed for over ten years sought regularization with benefits backdated to when he completed a decade of service. The High Court granted this relief under a Government Order meant for full-time employees. The Supreme Court reversed the order, holding that Government Orders for regularization of full-time employees do not apply to part-time workers, who lack a legal right to regularization merely through long service. The Court emphasized that part-time staff, not working against sanctioned posts and not governed by service rules, cannot claim regularization benefits without explicit legal authorization, and any benefits must run from the date of regularization, not retrospectively.
