Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Rajasthan High Court erred in granting employment to family members of landowners based on an alleged agreement that was disputed by the appellant, Hindustan Zinc Ltd. The Court emphasized that the purported agreement was not valid as it lacked proper signatures and was claimed to be doctored. The Court ruled that the High Court's reliance on a previous decision was misplaced due to differing factual circumstances, and thus the appeals were allowed, setting aside the High Court's order.
