Seniority Cause of Action | Arises Only Upon Regularisation, Not Initial Appointment: Allahabad HC
The Allahabad High Court has ruled that the cause of action for seniority in government service emerges solely at the time of regularisation, not at the date of initial appointment or engagement. This clarifies a critical legal threshold for hundreds of daily wage and contractual employees seeking backdated seniority and promotional benefits, overturning dismissal on limitation grounds and mandating fresh adjudication under binding precedent.
