The Madras High Court allowed Tamil Nadu to issue compassionate appointment orders to families of the 41 Karur stampede victims but directed that the jobs remain temporary, subject to the outcome of pending proceedings. The Court declined to interfere with the government’s policy decision at this stage.
The Madhya Pradesh High Court ruled that officials cannot insist on a succession certificate for compassionate appointments, holding that the policy clearly gives the deceased employee’s wife priority over other relatives. The Court said the brother has no preferential claim.
