Supreme Court stays Madras HC order on job relief for Karur stampede victims' families
The Supreme Court has stayed a Madras High Court order that quashed the Tamil Nadu government's decision to provide government jobs to families of stampede victims. The apex court questioned the High Court's challenge to the state's policy aimed at assisting affected families.
The Madras High Court had previously struck down the job appointments, citing existing recruitment guidelines and concerns about potential similar demands. The Supreme Court's stay provides interim relief to the Tamil Nadu government, allowing the job relief policy to continue pending further proceedings.
