Supreme Court Orders Regular Pay to Part-Time Sweepers on Regular Sanctioned Posts

The Supreme Court ruled that part-time sweepers appointed temporarily to regular sanctioned posts are entitled to regular pay, rejecting the State’s argument that their temporary status disqualifies them.

The Court held that designation as 'part-time' does not affect the validity of their appointment, as they were recruited against sanctioned posts.

Since the Appellant sweeper completed three years of service per the requirement of Clause 6 circular of 1984, the lack of a screening committee by the state does not bar him from claiming regular pay. 

The Division Bench's ruling which disqualified them was overturned, restoring the Single Bench's decision in favor of the Appellant sweeper.
