#regularization of employees

MP High Court directs authorities to consider daily rated employees' representation under the State's 2016 regularization policy, ensuring compliance with natural justice. The court mandates a reasoned decision within 45 days, reinforcing that arbitrary denial of benefits violates constitutional guarantees of equality and fair procedure for contractual workers.

The Central Administrative Tribunal ruled that contempt jurisdiction is limited to examining willful disobedience, not the merits of compliance orders. Contractual employees' substantial compliance with tribunal directions discharges contempt liability, reinforcing procedural fairness over substantive scrutiny.
