Key Principle Established
Haryana Roadways employees appointed on daily wages who have completed more than 10 years of service are entitled to be regularized in accordance with the Umadevi principles.
Daily-wage employees of Haryana Roadways who had been working for more than a decade sought regularization of their services.
The Court directed that Haryana Roadways employees who have completed more than 10 years of continuous service on daily wages must be regularized in accordance with the principles laid down in Umadevi. The exploitation of workers by keeping them on daily wages for decades while they perform the same duties as regular employees is unconstitutional.
This judgment benefited thousands of daily-wage workers in Haryana Roadways and is a key precedent for contractual employee regularization in Haryana.
