Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Rajasthan High Court's decision declaring Regulation 4(3) of the Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation Compassionate Appointment Regulations, 2010 as unconstitutional for violating Article 14 of the Constitution. The court found that the regulation unjustly denied compassionate appointments to eligible candidates, thereby infringing on their right to equality. Consequently, the appeal by the Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling.
