Service Confirmation Establishes Substantive Employment | Length of Service for Pension Counts from Initial Appointment, Not Regularization : Meghalaya HC
Meghalaya High Court rules that confirmation in service against a permanent post crystallizes substantive employment, mandating pension benefits from the date of initial appointment. The court set aside a 2023 order reclassifying the employee as 'adhoc' post-confirmation, emphasizing that such reclassification illegally deprives employees of accrued service benefits.
