STATE OF KARNATAKA . vs S.K. HALAPPA . — C.A. No. 838/2007

Case Summary: State of Karnataka v. S.K. Halappa (CA No. 838/2007) The Supreme Court heard the State of Karnataka's appeal against a High Court order directing the government to consider S.K. Halappa's case for permanent regularisation within ten weeks. Halappa, who had worked on daily wages for an extended period, sought regularisation with consequential benefits. The Court granted leave and set aside the High Court's order, remitting the matter back for fresh consideration in light of the Uma Devi judgment, which held that regularisation of temporary workers is bad in law. The appeal was disposed of accordingly on February 19, 2007. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
