Limited but evolving pathways. Supreme Court in Uma Devi directed regularization of employees who completed 10 years without selection irregularity. Several P&H HC orders have directed regularization in specific categories. Government policies like one-time regularization schemes periodically announced. Key: maintain continuous service records and challenge any break in service immediately.
Article 14 and Directive Principle 39(d) mandate equal pay for equal work. Landmark: State of Punjab v. Jagjit Singh (2017) 1 SCC 148 — contractual employees performing identical duties as regular employees entitled to minimum of regular pay scale. File writ petition citing this judgment for pay parity claims.
