Summary of C.A. No. 005442-005459/2009 The Supreme Court held that work-charge service cannot be counted as regular service for purposes of the Haryana Civil Services (Assured Career Progression) Rules, 1998. The Court reversed High Court orders granting work-charge employees benefits under these rules, finding that "regular satisfactory service" explicitly requires recruitment through prescribed procedures, distinguishing it fundamentally from temporary work-charge employment.
