Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's directive for the Tamil Nadu government to create posts for 'Village Level Workers' (MNP) to accommodate individuals previously employed under the scheme. The court emphasized the importance of fulfilling the state's obligations to these workers without age restrictions and mandated compensation for those not accommodated. This judgment reinforces the state's duty to provide employment opportunities in accordance with prior commitments.
