Is he eligible for a permanent LIC job after 120 days' work, based on law and Supreme Court rulings?
Firstly, you need to go through the contract that you would have signed while joining the post at LIC of India.
The contract definitely would have mentioned the true nature of the job (permanent/ temporary) and also the future aspects of it.
Having signed so, makes it binding on both the parties.
As far as the judgements are concerned, they talk about their limitation and restriction to only the parties at hand and not applicable to the others as a general rule.
There have been certain judgments in and around the matter of concern but not pertaining specifically to your situation. But nevertheless, you can go through the judgements once – to give you a better idea of the situation justifying your claim to make your job permanent. They are as follows :-
V. Muthukumarasamy And Ors. vs The Chairman, L.I.C., Zonal – an Hon’ble Madras High Court judgement of 2007
Terminated Full Time Temporary vs Senior Divisional Manager again an Hon’ble Madras High Court judgement of 1992
On the other hand, Judgements like Surinder Prasad Tiwari v. U.P. Rajya Krishi Utpadan Mandi Parishad clearly suggests “it would be improper for the courts to give directions for regularisation of services of the person who is working either as daily-wager, ad hoc employee, probationer, temporary or contractual employee, not appointed following the procedure laid down under Articles 14, 16 and 309 of the Constitution."
