#U.P. Recruitment of Dependants Rules 1974

Uttarakhand High Court rules that 23 years of uninterrupted daily wage service in a regular vacancy qualifies as 'continuous service' under Rule 2(a)(iii) of the U.P. Recruitment of Dependants Rules, 1974, entitling dependants to compassionate appointment. The judgment underscores that long-term daily wagers cannot be denied benefits merely due to lack of formal appointment, directing reconsideration for engagement even on contractual basis.
