State Of Haryana & Ors vs Jasmer Singh & Ors on 7 November, 1996
In State of
Haryana vs. Jasmer Singh,(supra), a three-Judge Bench of
this Court held that the regularization of daily rated workmen
who had completed a certain number of years of service is a
policy matter to be decided by the State. This Court held that
the respondents who are employed on daily wages can not be
treated on par with persons in regular service of the State
holding similar post. Daily rated workers are not required to
possess the qualifications prescribed for the regular work nor
do they have to fulfill the requirement relating to age at the
time of recruitment. They cannot, therefore, be equated with
the regular workmen for the purposes of their wages nor can
they claim the minimum wage regular pay scale of the
regularly employed.
