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 Supreme Court agreed to hear an application alleging Tamil Nadu ministers accused in the Karur stampede case are influencing witnesses during the CBI investigation. The Bench listed the matter for July 8 after being informed of fresh developments requiring judicial intervention in the ongoing probe.
