ISSUES PRESENTED and CONSIDEREDThe core legal issues presented and considered in this judgment are:Whether the respondents, who were appointed on a daily wage basis and continued for over 15 years, are entitled to regularization of their services.Whether the principles laid down in the case of State of Karnataka v. Umadevi apply to the respondents' case.What constitutes a 'one-time measure' for regularization as per the Umadevi judgment, and how should it be implementedRs.2. ISSUE-WISE DETAILED ANALYSISIssue 1: Entitlement to RegularizationRelevant Legal Framework and Precedents: The judgment refers to the principles established in State of Karnataka v. Umadevi, which held that appointments made without following due process do not confer a right to regularization.Court's Interpretation and Reasoning: The court emphasized that regularization is not an automatic entitlement for employees appointed irregularly. However, an exception exists for employees who have served for more than ten years without court protection.Key Evidence and Findings: The respondents had been employed for over 15 years without any court intervention, fulfilling one of the conditions for the exception under Umadevi.Application of Law to Facts: The court applied the Umadevi exception, noting that the respondents had served for over ten years in sanctioned posts and possessed the requisite qualifications.Treatment of Competing Arguments: The appellants argued against regularization based on the general principles of Umadevi, but the court found that the specific exception applied.Conclusions: The court concluded that the respondents are entitled to be considered for regularization under the Umadevi exception.Issue 2: Application of Umadevi PrinciplesRelevant Legal Framework and Precedents: The Umadevi judgment outlined conditions under which irregular employees may be regularized as a one-time measure.Court's Interpretation and Reasoning: The court reiterated that the Umadevi exception applies to employees who have served for over ten years in sanctioned posts without court orders.Key Evidence and Findings: The respondents fit the criteria outlined in Umadevi for consideration of regularization.Application of Law to Facts: The court applied the Umadevi exception, directing that the respondents' cases be considered for regularization.Treatment of Competing Arguments: The appellants' reliance on the general principles of Umadevi was countered by the specific exception applicable to the respondents.Conclusions: The court concluded that the respondents' cases should be considered under the Umadevi exception.Issue 3: Implementation of 'One-time Measure'Relevant Legal Framework and Precedents: The Umadevi judgment required a one-time measure for regularization within six months of its decision.Court's Interpretation and Reasoning: The court clarified that the one-time measure should include all eligible employees, even if their cases were pending in court.Key Evidence and Findings: The Zila Panchayat had not undertaken the one-time measure as per Umadevi for the respondents.Application of Law to Facts: The court directed the Zila Panchayat to conduct a one-time regularization exercise, including the respondents.Treatment of Competing Arguments: The court addressed the appellants' oversight in excluding the respondents from the one-time measure.Conclusions: The court mandated the Zila Panchayat to complete the one-time measure, considering the respondents for regularization.3. SIGNIFICANT HOLDINGSVerbatim Quotes of Crucial Legal Reasoning: 'The one-time exercise will be concluded only when all the employees who are entitled to be considered in terms of Para 53 of Umadevi, are so considered.'Core Principles Established: The judgment reinforces the Umadevi exception for regularization and clarifies the implementation of the one-time measure.Final Determinations on Each Issue: The court directed the Zila Panchayat to conduct a one-time regularization exercise, considering the respondents' eligibility under the Umadevi exception.
