SC Upholds HC Judgment Directing Regularization Of Transport Department Employees
Jammu, May 07 : Supreme Court has upheld the judgment of J&K High Court whereby it has dismissed the appeal filed by Transport Commissioner challenging the judgment of writ court whereby the writ court found petitioners have been found entitled for regularization of services in accordance with the prevailing rules and regulations.
The Supreme Court observed that the senior advocate appearing on behalf of the petitioners has drawn attention to the regularization policy contained in the Jammu & Kashmir Civil" Services (Special Provisions) Act, 2010 (for short 'the Act, 2010').
The SC after hearing both sides observed that it appears that the respondents herein were serving against the clear vacancy and therefore, it cannot be said that Act, 2010 shall not be applicable.
The bench further added that once even as per the proforma, the appointments of the respondents were against the clear vacancy, they were entitled to the regularization under the Act, 2010 & with these observations, the Supreme Court dismissed the SLP filed by UT of Jammu & Kashmir.
