The Rajasthan State Road Transport ... vs Revat Singh

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to direct the Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation to consider the respondent's application for compassionate appointment as a driver, despite the respondent's lack of qualifications, including not being matriculate and holding only a light vehicle driving license. The Court reiterated that compassionate appointments must adhere to eligibility criteria as established in I.G.(Karmik) and others vs. Prahalad Mani Tripathi, which states that such appointments cannot be claimed as a matter of right. The outcome confirmed the High Court's ruling while emphasizing the need for adherence to qualifications in compassionate appointments.
