Mere long continuance whether under interim orders passed by various courts, tribunals or otherwise does not

confer any right Mere long continuance whether under the protection of interim orders passed by the courts, tribunals

or even otherwise confers no right on temporary employees to claim regularization.

2) No directions for regularisations, fixing pay scale, continuation in service, promotion, etc. shall be given by the

courts as these are executive functions It is now well settled that it is not for the court to issue direction to the State as to how the selection process should be, it is for the State to consider as to how to streamline the selection procedure, the court can only examine as to whether the procedure for selection as adopted by the Government is unconstitutional or otherwise illegal or vitiated by arbitrariness or mala fides

You must look for the rues that which may entitle you to be absorbed as permanent employee.

It is not necessary that you should be absorbed just because you have put 7 years of service.

You should ensure that you are possessing qualifying service for the post and also meet all criteria for getting absorbed as permanent employee.
