V. Santhaiah v. The Regional Manager
Case brief
What is this about?
This judgment allowed a writ petition filed by a driver challenging the denial of regularization benefits. The court held that since the employee's initial engagement was contractual, statutory disciplinary procedures were not required for his removal. Consequently, the petitioner was entitled to regularization with past service dating back to his initial engagement.
What did the court decide?
The order of removal of 12.08.2008 modified by appellate authority set aside; petitioner entitled to regularization with past service from initial date.
