High Courts Address Employee Regularisation and Service Benefit Disputes in Punjab, Haryana, and Jammu & Kashmir
The Punjab and Haryana High Court criticized the state government for disregarding judicial principles in service matters, ordering the regularisation of an employee from the date of eligibility under a 2001 policy with arrears and interest. Separately, the court will examine whether private unaided institutions must reinstate employees or extend benefits beyond contracts. Meanwhile, the Jammu and Kashmir High Court upheld regularisation of a prisons employee denied benefits over a typing-speed certificate, ruling the denial discriminatory.
