and as such, he has worked uninterruptedly for nearly two decades without any adverse entry. The Government of Haryana has issued regularization policies from time to time. The policy dated 18.06.2014 (Annexure P-3) was issued for regularization of Group C and D employees who had rendered more than three years of service as on 28.05.2014 and the petitioner fulfils all the eligibility conditions. Further, Hon’ble the Supreme Court in Madan Singh’s case (supra) (Annexure P-4), has upheld the validity of the regularization policies dated 16.06.2014 and 18.06.2014. Further, the case of the petitioner is squarely covered by the judgment rendered by this Court in Sukhvinder Singh and others v. State of Haryana and another, CWP-5686-2016 , decided on 25.05.2026 , and the petitioner’s claim is identically placed and, as such, the petitioner is entitled to the benefit of regularization.
