Employee appointed through valid process can't be denied regularisation: SC

The Court distinguished the 'Umadevi' case dictum by noting that it has differentiated between "illegal" and "irregular" appointments. The Supreme Court held that procedural formalities cannot be used to deny regularisation of service to an employee whose appointment was termed "temporary" but has performed the same duties as performed by the regular employee over a considerable period in the capacity of the regular employee.
