Secretary, State Of Karnataka And ... vs Umadevi And Others on 10 April, 2006
"25. We have consciously noted the
aforesaid decisions of this Court. The
principle as has been laid down in State
of Karnataka v. Umadevi (3), (2006) 4
SCC 1, has also been applied in relation
to the persons who were working on
daily wages. According to us, the daily
wagers are not appointees in the strict
sense of the term 'appointment'. They do
not hold a post. The scheme of
alternative appointment framed for
regular employees of abolished
organisation cannot, therefore, confer a
similar entitlement on the daily wagers
of abolished organisation to such
alternative employment.
