Allowing the appeal, Supreme Court held that in view of Supreme Courts’ decision in case of Uma Devi (2006) (4 SCC 1), circulars and regularization of similarly situated employees at other places and various recommendations that were made, services of the Appellant ought to have been regularized in year 2006; discriminatory treatment has been meted out to them. They did not serve under the cover of Court’s order and hence illegality has been committed by not directing their regularization of services. (CA No. 2795-2796 of 2018 dt. 13-03-2018
