Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the orders of the Himachal Pradesh Administrative Tribunal granting regular appointments to Shri Dinesh Kumar and Ms. Parveen Kumari under the 'kith and kin policy'. The Court clarified that the validity of the kith and kin policy was not in question, and emphasized that the respondents were entitled to be appointed as clerks based on their eligibility and the circumstances of their deceased parents' employment. The appeals by the Himachal Pradesh Road Transport Corporation were dismissed, affirming the Tribunal's decisions.
