The Madhya Pradesh High Court’s Yugalpith bench ordered that employees applying for regularisation must submit documents establishing continuous service tenure.
The Yugalpith bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court issued a directive requiring any government employee seeking regularisation to provide documentary evidence of long‑term, uninterrupted service. The order, delivered in Jabalpur, emphasizes that mere claims of tenure will not suffice; official service records, appointment letters, and related paperwork must be presented.
The court’s ruling comes amid growing concerns over the regularisation process for contract and temporary staff in the state’s public sector. By mandating concrete proof, the bench aims to ensure that only those who have genuinely fulfilled the requisite period of service are granted permanent status.
Legal experts note that the decision could streamline pending regularisation applications and reduce disputes over eligibility. Affected employees have been advised to gather all relevant service documents and submit them to the appropriate authorities within the stipulated timeframe.
The High Court has not specified a deadline in the order, but it warned that non‑compliance may result in the dismissal of regularisation petitions. The directive is expected to be communicated to all state departments for implementation.
