P.Krishna Kumar, J.
In this batch of original petitions, the
petitioners who formerly worked in the Water Resources
Department as Seasonal Labour Roll (SLR) workers claim
pensionary benefits, contending that they retired from
their employment after decades of continuous service
in the department and were denied equal treatment, as
the Government has given pensionary benefits to
similarly placed employees retired from the Fisheries
Department.
2. They approached the Kerala Administrative
Tribunal while they were continuing as SLR workers
seeking directions to regularise their service, to
permit them to continue up to the age of 60 years and
to grant pensionary benefits. The Tribunal disposed of
the applications by observing that it is open to the
Government to consider their requests for treatment on
OP(KAT) Nos.381/2024, 380/2024, 405/2024, 399/2024,
395/2024, 398/2024, 429/2024, 480/2024
21
2025:KER:5401
par with similarly placed persons. The petitioners
challenged the said order for the reason that the
Tribunal ought to have granted the reliefs sought in
view of the various declarations of law by the Apex
court.
3. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the
petitioners and the learned Senior Government Pleader.
For ease of convenience, we take O.P.(KAT)No.380/2024
as the leading case.
4. The learned counsel appearing for the
petitioners forcefully submitted that the Government
cannot speak in two voices when it considers similarly
placed SLR workers in two different departments. As the
Government has already decided to provide retirement
benefits to the SLR workers in the Fisheries
Department, the same benefits should not be denied to
the petitioners, who were also regularised as SLR
workers in a different department, it is urged. The
learned counsel further placed heavy reliance on Ext.P3
OP(KAT) Nos.381/2024, 380/2024, 405/2024, 399/2024,
395/2024, 398/2024, 429/2024, 480/2024
22
2025:KER:5401
Cabinet decision dated 16/02/2011 wherein it was
decided that HR/CLR/SLR workers in the Water Resources
Department who have completed 500 days in service on
01/01/2011 as well as 10 years of service, shall be
regularised as Worker Grade II with effect from
01/01/2011 by creating necessary posts and to permit
them to continue up to 58 years without any entitlement
for pension and the posts thereby created would be
considered as vanished once those workers complete 58
years.
5. The learned counsel for the petitioners further
submitted that by the decision rendered by the
Honourable Apex Court in Rajkaran Singh v. Union of
India [(2004) 8 SCR 516], the questions involved in
these cases are squarely covered and the Government is
bound to provide pension to the petitioners.
Petitioners further placed reliance on the decisions in
Lloyd Electric And Engineering Ltd v. State of Himachal
Pradesh (AIR 2015 SC 494), Union of India v.
OP(KAT) Nos.381/2024, 380/2024, 405/2024, 399/2024,
395/2024, 398/2024, 429/2024, 480/2024

v. Union of India (AIR 1983 SC 130), S.Seshachalam &
Ors. Etc. v. Chairman Bar Council of Tamil Nadu (AIR
2015 SC 816), The State of Jammu and Kashmir v. Triloki
Nath Khosa and Ors. (1973 INSC 178), Dr.Subramanian
Swamy v. Director, CBI & Anr. [(2014) 8 SCC 682], Delhi
Transport Corporation v. D.T.C. Mazdoor Congress & Ors.
(AIr 1991 SC 101), Vinod Kumar v. Union of India (2024
(2024 INSC 332) and Rajkaran Singh v. Union of India
(2024 INSC 621).
6. The learned Senior Government Pleader vehemently
refuted the said contentions. According to him, it is
purely a policy decision of the Government that whom
should be given a pension, after considering various
circumstances. He further submitted that the
petitioners were only Seasonal Workers who had been
engaged only during a particular season and if this
court directs the Government to give pensions to them,
the Government will be compelled to treat tens of
OP(KAT) Nos.381/2024, 380/2024, 405/2024, 399/2024,
395/2024, 398/2024, 429/2024, 480/2024
24
2025:KER:5401
thousands of others who are similarly placed, which
would certainly destabilise the exchequer. Learned
Senior Government Pleader further submitted that Ext.P3
Cabinet decision will have no legal effect until a
Government order is issued for implementing that
decision.
7. The upshot of the contentions of the petitioners
rests on 3 aspects; firstly, similarly placed SLR
workers in the Fisheries Department were given
pensionary benefits by the Government, secondly, by
Ext.P3 Cabinet decision, the Government has already
taken a policy decision to regularise all the SLR
workers who have completed 10 years in service and 500
working days and thirdly, the law declared by the Apex
Court in Rajkaran Singh vs Union of India (supra), the
Government is bound to give pension to the petitioners.
8. In Rajkaran Singh‘s case (supra) certain
employees who were appointed to manage the funds of the
Special Frontier Force (SFF) which is a welfare
OP(KAT) Nos.381/2024, 380/2024, 405/2024, 399/2024,
395/2024, 398/2024, 429/2024, 480/2024
25
2025:KER:5401
initiative funded through personal contributions of the
SFF troopers were denied pension on attaining the age
of superannuation. They claimed pensionary benefits
under the 6th Central Pay Commission. Their claim was
rejected on the ground that they were not recruited
under the regular rules and their pay was not made from
the public fund. After discussing various decisions on
the point, the Apex Court found that the appellants
therein meet the characteristics of regular Government
service and that they were appointed on a regular
basis. The Apex Court made the following observations
and concluded in favour of the appellants therein,
based on the decision of the Apex Court in Vinod Kumar
and others v. Union of India [((2024) (1) SCR 1230]:
29. Indisputably, the appellants have served
SFF HQ Estt. No. 22 for over three decades. While
the duration of service alone may not be
determinative, it is a significant factor when
considered in conjunction with the other aspects of
their employment. Such long-term service suggests a
level of permanence and integration into the
governmental structure that belies their
OP(KAT) Nos.381/2024, 380/2024, 405/2024, 399/2024,
395/2024, 398/2024, 429/2024, 480/202426
2025:KER:5401classification as temporary employees. The
appellants performed duties similar to those of
regular employees in the Accounts Section of SFF HQ
Estt. No. 22. This similarity in job functions
further blurs the line between the appellants’
status and that of regular government employees,
suggesting that the distinction may be more formal
than substantive. The extension of significant
elements from the 4th and 5th CPC to the appellants
further cements their plea of being employed in
governmental functions.
30. Learned ASG appearing for the respondents
has argued that the recruitment, selection, and
promotion processes for SSD Fund employees did not
follow the procedures used for regular employees
and that the appellants were not subjected to
probation or given confirmation letters as
permanent employees. However, this Court finds such
argument to be untenable as it fails to account for
the substantive nature of the appellants’
employment over an extended period running into
three decades. In this regard, reference may be
made to the judgment of this Court in the case of
Vinod Kumar v. Union of India, wherein this Court
noted;
“5. Having heard the arguments of both the
sides, this Court believes that the essence of
employment and the rights thereof cannot be
merely determined by the initial terms of
appointment when the actual course of
employment has evolved significantly over time.
The continuous service of the appellants in the
OP(KAT) Nos.381/2024, 380/2024, 405/2024, 399/2024,
395/2024, 398/2024, 429/2024, 480/202427
2025:KER:5401capacities of regular employees, performing
duties indistinguishable from those in
permanent posts, and their selection through a
process that mirrors that of regular
recruitment, constitute a substantive departure
from the temporary and scheme-specific nature
of their initial engagement. Moreover, the
appellants’ promotion process was conducted and
overseen by a Departmental Promotional
Committee and their sustained service for more
than 25 years without any indication of the
temporary nature of their roles being
reaffirmed or the duration of such temporary
engagement being specified, merits a
reconsideration of their employment status.
6. The application of the judgment in Uma
Devi (supra) by the High Court does not fit
squarely with the facts at hand, given the
specific circumstances under which the
appellants were employed and have continued
their service. The reliance on procedural
formalities at the outset cannot be used to
perpetually deny substantive rights that have
accrued over a considerable period through
continuous service. Their promotion was based
on a specific notification for vacancies and a
subsequent circular, followed by a selection
process involving written tests and interviews,
which distinguishes their case from the
appointments through back door entry as
discussed in the case of Uma Devi (supra).
7. The judgment in the case Uma Devi (supra)
also distinguished between “irregular” and
“illegal” appointments underscoring the
importance of considering certain appointments
even if were not made strictly in accordance
with the prescribed Rules and Procedure, cannot
be said to have been made illegally if they had
followed the procedures of regular appointments
such as conduct of written examinations or
interviews as in the present case. Paragraph 53
of the Uma Devi (supra) case is reproduced
hereunder:
“53. One aspect needs to be clarified.
There may be cases where irregular
appointments (not illegal appointments) as
explained in S.V. Narayanappa [(1967) 1
OP(KAT) Nos.381/2024, 380/2024, 405/2024, 399/2024,
395/2024, 398/2024, 429/2024, 480/202428
2025:KER:5401SCR 128], R.N. Nanjundappa [(1972) 1 SCC
409] and B.N. Nagarajan [(1979) 4 SCC 507]
and referred to in para 15 above, of duly
qualified persons in duly sanctioned
vacant posts might have been made and the
employees have continued to work for ten
years or more but without the intervention
of orders of the courts or of tribunals.
The question of regularisation of the
services of such employees may have to be
considered on merits in the light of the
principles settled by this Court in the
cases above referred to and in the light
of this judgment. In that context, the
Union of India, the State Governments and
their instrumentalities should take steps
to regularise as a one-time measure, the
services of such irregularly appointed,
who have worked for ten years or more in
duly sanctioned posts but not under cover
of orders of the courts or of tribunals
and should further ensure that regular
recruitments are undertaken to fill those
vacant sanctioned posts that require to be
filled up, in cases where temporary
employees or daily wagers are being now
employed. The process must be set in
motion within six months from this date.
We also clarify that regularisation, if
any already made, but not sub judice, need
not be reopened based on this judgment,
but there should be no further bypassing
of the constitutional requirement and
regularising or making permanent, those
not duly appointed as per the
constitutional scheme.”
8. In light of the reasons recorded above,
this Court finds merit in the appellants’
arguments and holds that their service
conditions, as evolved over time, warrant a
reclassification from temporary to regular
status. The failure to recognize the substantive
nature of their roles and their continuous
service akin to permanent employees runs counter
to the principles of equity, fairness, and the
intent behind employment regulations.”
(emphasis supplied)
OP(KAT) Nos.381/2024, 380/2024, 405/2024, 399/2024,
395/2024, 398/2024, 429/2024, 480/2024

31. As held in Vinod Kumar (supra), “the essence of
employment and the rights thereof cannot be merely
determined by the initial terms of appointment when
the actual course of employment has evolved
significantly over time.
32. This Court fully associates with this principle
and finds it wholly applicable in the present case,
especially in light of the administrative orders and
Board proceedings referred to supra that have
consistently treated the appellants as equivalent to
regular government employees. The mere classification
of employees as ‘temporary’ or ‘permanent’ is not
merely a matter of nomenclature but carries
significant legal implications, particularly in terms
of service benefits and protections.
33. In the present case, the totality of
circumstances indicates that despite their formal
classification as temporary employees, the
appellants’ employment bears substantial hallmarks of
regular government service. The denial of pensionary
benefits solely on the basis of their temporary
status, without due consideration of these factors,
appears to be an oversimplification of their
employment relationship with the government. This
approach runs the risk of creating a class of
employees who, despite serving the government for
decades in a manner indistinguishable from regular
employees, are deprived of the benefits and
protections typically accorded to government
servants.
OP(KAT) Nos.381/2024, 380/2024, 405/2024, 399/2024,
395/2024, 398/2024, 429/2024, 480/2024
30
2025:KER:5401
34. Thus, we are of the opinion that the denial of
pensionary benefits to the appellants is not tenable
or justifiable in the eyes of law as the same is
arbitrary and violates the fundamental rights as
guaranteed by Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution
of India. It is indeed relevant to note that the
appellants’ batch seems to be the last in their genre
of SSD Fund temporary employees and thus, manifestly,
the direction to extend the benefits of the 6th CPC
and the RP Rules to the appellants shall not form a
precedent so as to have a detrimental effect on the
financial health of the SSD Fund.”
9. The observation in Vinod Kumar‘s case (supra)
assumes some relevance in the present context. The
Honourable Supreme Court observed that the essence of
employment and rights thereof cannot be merely
determined by the initial terms of appointment when the
actual course of employment has evolved significantly
over time and the continuous service of the appellants
as regular employees performing duties
indistinguishable from those in permanent posts and
their selection through a process that mirrors that of
regular recruitment constitute a substantive departure
OP(KAT) Nos.381/2024, 380/2024, 405/2024, 399/2024,
395/2024, 398/2024, 429/2024, 480/2024
31
2025:KER:5401
from the temporary and scheme-specific nature of their
initial engagement. The court also noted that the
reliance on procedure formalities at the outset cannot
be used to perpetually deny the substantive rights that
have accrued over a considerable period through
continuous service and ultimately the court found that
the service condition of the appellants, as evolved
over time warrant reclassification of their service
from temporary to regular status, as the failure to
recognise the substantive nature of their roles and
their continuous service akin to permanent employees
run counter to the principles of equity and fairness.
10. After going through the records before us, we
are of the view that a comparison of the actual nature
of the job of the petitioners in juxtaposition to a
regular employee of the Water Resources department
cannot be made by this Court for arriving at a
conclusion as indicated by the Apex Court, especially
when the data available before us in the form of
OP(KAT) Nos.381/2024, 380/2024, 405/2024, 399/2024,
395/2024, 398/2024, 429/2024, 480/2024
32
2025:KER:5401
pleadings are very limited. Such an exercise has to be
done by the Government while keeping in mind the
decision taken by it, if any, in the case of similarly
placed SLR workers in the Fisheries department as well
as the Cabinet decision cited by the petitioners. While
making that exercise, the petitioners shall also be
afforded an opportunity of hearing. The Government has
to take a decision in this regard within three months
from today.
The Original Petitions are disposed of
accordingly.
