D.G.M.(HR) P.G.CORPORATION OF INDIA LTD. vs T.VENKAT REDDY .

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Andhra Pradesh High Court, which directed the appellant to consider the cases of land oustees for employment on a preferential basis, despite the absence of a formal scheme for such employment. The Court clarified that while no exemption or relaxation could be granted, the oustees should be considered preferentially when the appellant undertakes recruitment for unskilled posts, provided they meet eligibility criteria. The ruling emphasized the need for a semblance of priority for displaced persons in employment opportunities arising from land acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act.
