Rajasthan HC Upholds Regularisation of Veterinary Officers with 10+ Years Service

The Rajasthan High Court's division bench dismissed a special appeal filed by the Department of Animal Husbandry, which sought to overturn the order for regularising veterinary officers with ten or more years of service.\n\nIn its judgment, the bench reaffirmed the earlier decision that such officers should be granted regular status, citing the need for job security and fair treatment of long‑serving staff.\n\nThe court noted that denying regularisation to these officers was merely an administrative tactic and not justified by any statutory provision.\n\nThe ruling is expected to benefit hundreds of veterinary officers across the state, ensuring they receive the benefits and protections accorded to regular employees.\n\nThe Department of Animal Husbandry is now expected to comply with the court's directive and implement the regularisation process.
