Setback for Vijay, court cancels government jobs for families of Karur stampede
The Madras High Court canceled the Tamil Nadu government's decision to grant jobs to families of 41 victims of the Karur stampede, ruling it unconstitutional. The court stated that the measure violated Articles 14 and 16, which ensure equality and equal opportunity in public employment. This judgment follows a temporary allowance for job distribution made by the same bench less than three weeks prior.
