Kochi, Mar 10: The service of a temporary government employee or those working in any institution with deep and pervasive state control cannot be regularised, the Kerala High Court has ruled.
A division bench justices A K Jayasankaran Nambiar and Gopinath P gave the verdict on the basis of an earlier judgement of the Supreme Court in the state of Karnataka and others versus Uma Devi and others case.
The bench gave the ruling in an appeal challenging a single bench order rejecting a plea of two employees of the Institute of Human Resources Development (IHRD) under the state government seeking regularisation of their services.
The Information TechnologyvRules, 2021 was notified in February, and the government has, for the first time, expanded the definition of digital media to include online news and put in place a three-tier grievance redressal system that will be overseen by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.
NEW DELHI: The Kerala high court on Wednesday issued a notice to the Centre on a plea challenging the new Information Technology (IT) rules to regulate digital news media. The development comes a day after the Delhi high court too sought the Union government’s response on another petition challenging the new guidelines.
