Sympathy and sentiments should not serve as grounds for passing any order of regularisation in the absence of a legal entitlement, the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court observed while dismissing a plea filed by a part-time sweeper seeking service regularisation.
The court was hearing the petition filed by P. Sridevi of Nagercoil. She was appointed as a part-time sweeper in a government school in 1989. The State government passed an order in 2006 regularising the services of daily wage workers who had rendered a minimum of 10 years of service. Since the petitioner had rendered more than 32 years of service, she sought service regularisation. But her representation was not considered. So she filed the petition before the High Court.
