Key Principle Established
Regularization of contractual employees under HKRNL is subject to fulfillment of conditions prescribed. Government must frame clear policy for absorption of daily-wage workers.
Daily-wage and contractual employees in Haryana sought regularization of their services, citing years of continuous work in government departments.
The Court held that while the Haryana government has enacted HKRNL to provide security of service to contractual employees, regularization must follow prescribed conditions. The government must frame a clear, transparent policy for absorption and cannot treat contractual employees arbitrarily while they continue to serve.
This judgment is central to the rights of contractual employees in Haryana. With thousands of HKRNL employees across government departments, this decision provides the framework for their protection and eventual regularization.
