An Analysis Into The ‘Temporary Employees’ And The Attitude Of Judiciary Towards Their Regularization


Lucy Raj, B.A. LL.B., Central University of South Bihar, Gaya


ABSTRACT


In India, temporary workers often perform the same duties as permanent employees but face significant disparities in job security, wages, and benefits. Earlier judicial rulings, like Daily Rated Casual Labour v. Union of India, supported regularization based on the principles of equality and “equal pay for equal work.” However, the 2006 Supreme Court verdict in Secretary of State, Karnataka v. Umadevi shifted the focus, prioritizing adherence to constitutional procedures over social justice. In this paper, there is an attempt to understand this shift in a way which has left temporary workers in a precarious position, highlighting the need for balanced reforms that ensure fairness for all while upholding procedural integrity.
