    The Chhattisgarh High Court disposed of Smt. Pratima Sahu's writ petition seeking regularization of her contractual Lekhapal position (held since 2010) by directing her to submit a fresh representation to authorities, which must be decided within four months, applying recent Supreme Court precedents against prolonged contractual employment. The court emphasized that states, as constitutional employers, cannot indefinitely deny regularization to workers performing regular duties, and stressed adherence to fair engagement principles under Articles 14, 16, and 21 of the Constitution.
