Seven Years of Unblemished Service | Provisional Appointment Subject to Pending SLP Becomes Regular; Promotion Eligibility Triggered : Bombay HC

The Bombay High Court has ruled that after seven years of continuous, unblemished service, an appointment made subject to the outcome of a pending Special Leave Petition can no longer be treated as provisional. Petitioners are now entitled to regularization and must be considered for promotion, irrespective of the unresolved SLP, affirming that prolonged service overrides conditional language in appointment letters.
