Punjab and Haryana HC Rules Regularisation Requires Good Work and Conduct
The Punjab and Haryana High Court ruled that employees cannot be regularised solely based on long service unless their work and conduct are satisfactory. The court set aside a previous order that granted deemed regularisation to drivers in municipal corporations without assessing their performance. It clarified that employees with over 10 years of service may be considered for regularisation, regardless of initial appointment procedures or qualifications, but only if their conduct during tenure is good. The ruling arose from appeals by municipal corporations challenging earlier directives.
