U.P. STATE ROAD TRANSPORT CORPN. vs BHAGYAWATI

The Supreme Court directed that the Corporation must appoint the widow of the deceased workman under the Dying-in-Harness Rules, 1974, within three months, contingent upon her agreement to forgo her claim for back wages. The Court noted that both parties had reached a settlement regarding the employment and the waiver of back wages. Consequently, the pending writ petition in the High Court was disposed of in light of this settlement.
