Chandigarh | Friday | 19th October, 2018

Summary:

The services of another woman, a 48-year-old, who was working as a sweeper at another school since 1993, too were ordered to be regularised by the court. She will now be regularised as a sweeper, in accordance to state government policy. Chandigarh, Oct 19 (PTI) Appointed on a part-time basis in a government school in Punjab four decades ago, the Punjab and Haryana high court has ordered that the services of the 84-year-old Shanta Devi be regularised. “Since the petitioners are working for the past 21 to 35 years in their respective schools, it is manifest that there is requirement of the posts. The state counsel argued that Shanti Devi had attained age of superannuation nearly three decades ago and until that year, her turn for regularisation of services had not come as per the seniority position defined in the policy..
