Supreme Court's Umadevi Judgment on Contract Worker Regularisation at 20

The Supreme Court's 2006 Umadevi ruling addressed the regularisation of contract workers in India’s public sector. It barred regularisation of illegally recruited workers to protect fair employment chances but allowed a one-time regularisation for those with over ten years of service selected through proper procedures. This judgment remains significant in balancing workers' rights and public employment fairness two decades later.
