Employee Not Entitled To Seek Permanency Or Regularisation Of Service If Continued On Ad Hoc Basis For Decades

Case: Desh Deepak Srivastava & Ors. V. Delhi High Court & Anr.

Coram: Justice Vibhu Bakhru and Justice Amit Mahajan

Case No.: W.P.(C) No. 9570/2015

Court Observation: “It is also settled law that even if a Scheme has been in operation for some decades or that the employee concerned has continued on ad hoc basis for decades, it would not entitle the employee to seek permanency or regularisation,”

“Even otherwise, the petitioners who were contractual employees in the Establishment of District Court cannot claim any right to regularization or absorption by the Establishment of Delhi High Court as the two are totally independent and separate Establishments.”

“The vacancy notice dated 22.07.2015 issued by Delhi High Court for appointment to the post of JJA(T) in Delhi High Court thus has no connection with the petitioners, who were engaged on contractual basis and were deployed in subordinate Courts purely on temporary and contractual basis,”
