Secretary, State Of Karnataka And ... vs Umadevi And Others on 10 April, 2006
"14. The Division Bench of the High Court after referring to
the case of Secretary, State of Karnataka & Ors. v. Umadevi
& Ors., has clearly held that if a person has served for 10
years or more, then it is the duty of the State Government to
consider his case for regularization in the post. The said
conclusion came to be reached by relying on Articles 309, 14,
16 of the Constitution of India.
State Of Karnataka & Ors vs M.L. Kesari & Ors on 3 August, 2010
Relying upon Umadevi & Ors.
(supra), the High Court has further referred to the judgment in
the State of Karnataka & Ors. v. M.L. Kesari & Ors. which is
considered by this Court and this Court has clearly held that
the case of Umadevi & Ors. (supra) cast a duty upon the
State Government to take steps to regularize the services of
those irregularly appointed appointees, who had served for
more than 10 years without the benefit or protection of any
interim order. Further in the said case, this Court has
declared that it has been clearly ordered that one time
settlement/measure should be taken within six months i.e.
from 10.04.2006. With reference to the aforesaid decision the
learned senior counsel appearing on behalf of the
respondent-employees placed reliance upon Article 142 of
the Constitution in support of the submission that order of the
Supreme Court be respected and implemented by its true
meaning and spirit. Therefore, the Division Bench of the High
Court accepted the same and came to the conclusion that the
claims of the respondent-employees for regularization in their
posts are fit cases and they became unfortunate only
because of the creation of the State of Jharkhand over which
the employees had no control and could not have prevented
creation of the State of Jharkhand and because of that
reason only, one State cannot take a different stand with
-14-
respect to the employees appointed by same process. The
State Government cannot throw the employees jobless after
30 years of their continuous service in public employment
guaranteed under Article 16 of the Constitution, which would
result in great injustice since their source of income will be
taken away and thereby the employees and their families will
suffer due to the arbitrary action of the State Government of
Jharkhand which deprived a person of life and liberty
guaranteed under Articles 19 and 21 of the Constitution of
India."
Olga Tellis & Ors vs Bombay Municipal Corporation & Ors. Etc on 10 July, 1985
In the landmark decision in the case of Olga Tellis & Others v.
Bombay Municipal Corporation & Others, 1985 (3) SCC 545, the
Hon'ble Supreme Court in very categorical terms dealing with Article 21
and comparing it with the right to livelihood held that, "The sweep of the
right to life conferred by Article 21 is wide and far reaching. An equally
important facet of that right is the right to livelihood because, no person
can live without the means of living, that is, the means of livelihood. If
the right to livelihood is not treated as a part of the constitutional right to
live, the easiest way of depriving a person of his right to life would be to
deprive him of his means of livelihood. Right to work is the most
precious liberty that man possesses. It is most precious liberty
because, it sustains and enables a man to live and the right to life thus
is a precious freedom. Life means something more than mere animal
existence and the inhibition against the deprivation of life extends to all
those limits and faculties by which life is enjoyed".
