Case Law Analysis
|Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh High Court
Casual workers can be regularised only in the lowest entry grade, not a higher post | Section 5, J&K Civil Services (Special Provisions) Act, 2010 : JK HC
The JK High Court set aside the CAT order that regularised a long-serving casual driver as a driver, ordering regularisation as an orderly in the entry-level grade with arrears and a three-month deadline. The decision confirms that under Section 5 of the J&K Civil Services (Special Provisions) Act, 2010 casual employees must be regularised at the lowest grade, shaping future cases.
