According to the Supreme Court, Regularization Cannot Be Claimed If Appointment Was Not Made by a Competent Authority & There Is No Sanctioned Post.

The Supreme Court has reaffirmed that a daily rated employee must have been first appointed by a competent authority and that he must be employed in a sanctioned job in order to be eligible for regularization.
A Civil Appeal arising out of a Special Leave Petition filed against the decision of the division bench of the High Court of Madhya Pradesh was being heard by the bench of Justices Ravindra Bhat and Sudhanshu Dhulia.
