Article 14 | Senior Adhoc Employees Cannot Be Excluded During Regularization While Juniors Are Included: J&K HC
The J&K High Court ruled that excluding a senior adhoc employee with over two decades of service while regularizing junior staff violates the equality guarantee under Article 14. The repeal of enabling statutes cannot justify such arbitrariness, affirming that legitimate expectation and non-discrimination bind state action even in adhoc appointments.
