THE RAJASTHAN STATE ROAD TRANSPORT CORPORATION & OTHERS 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 matriculated or holding a heavy vehicle driving license. The Court emphasized that compassionate appointments should consider the hardships faced by the deceased employee's family, as established in I.G.(Karmik) and others vs. Prahalad Mani Tripathi (2007) 6 SCC 162. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's order.
