Key Principle Established
Contractual employees under HKRNL engaged for more than 240 days are entitled to regularization as per the statutory provisions. The State cannot keep workers on contract indefinitely.
Contractual employees engaged under the Haryana Karamchari (Regularization of Not Regular Labour) Act who had worked for more than 240 days sought regularization of their services.
The Court held that contractual employees who have completed 240 days of continuous work are entitled to regularization as per the HKRNL provisions. The State cannot exploit workers by keeping them on perpetual contracts when they have fulfilled the statutory requirements for regularization.
This judgment is critical for contractual employees in Haryana seeking regularization under HKRNL and related legislation.
