25 Years of Continuous Casual Service Creates Legitimate Expectation of Regularization | Violation of Article 14 and Article 16 : Central Administrative Tribunal, Cuttack Bench
The Central Administrative Tribunal, Cuttack, ruled that 25 years of uninterrupted casual service entitles an employee to regularization, as denying it while regularizing similarly situated workers constitutes arbitrary discrimination under Article 14. The judgment reinforces that constitutional equity demands uniform treatment for employees performing identical duties over decades, especially when they are barred by age from seeking other government employment.
