“Don’t bring politics into this, such stampede took place several people died. If the government has decided to give jobs, then who are the respondents to oppose it… Justice Pardiwala observed orally.
The Madurai Bench of the High Court had quashed the government orders granting jobs to the victims’ family members on compassionate grounds on July 27. The High Court had reasoned that it would be in violation of the fundamental rights of equality and due of process of law, enshrined in Article 14 and 21 of the Constitution, respectively, to overlook those in the waiting list in a bid to bring relief to the family members of the Karur stampede victims.
If sole member has died in the stampede, then there is nobody else in the family who is earning, should the government not give some employment to son or daughter or wife according to their educational qualifications?
