#regularization of daily wage workers

The Chhattisgarh High Court has ruled that a daily wage worker with over 240 days of service in each calendar year for two decades is entitled to regularization, even without formal appointment, as Section 25F of the Industrial Disputes Act protects continuous service regardless of employment label. This sets a critical precedent for thousands of unorganized sector workers denied permanent status despite long-term, uninterrupted service.

Chhattisgarh High Court directs authorities to decide on regularization of daily wage workers with 8-10 years of service, citing Supreme Court precedents on fair employment and administrative accountability.
