Supreme Court no to hereditary jobs in Singareni
The Supreme Court on Monday struck down the decision of the Singareni Collieries Company Ltd (SCCL) providing hereditary jobs for the children of the employees.
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday struck down the decision of the Singareni Collieries Company Ltd (SCCL) providing hereditary jobs for the children of the employees.
Upholding the judgement of the Hyderabad High Court, which ruled that hereditary jobs scheme was against the Constitution, the Apex court also said that if any sympathetic consideration has to be given it can be done only in the case of employees who cannot work because of ill-health.
That too the appointments have to be in conformity with the guidelines issued by the SC. Satish Kumar of Godavarikhani had filed a PIL in the HC against the circular issued by the collieries.
The HC ruled against the collieries taking into consideration the SC judgment in V Sivamurthy Vs Andhra Pradesh in 2008.
The SC made it clear in this case that even if an employee is unwell he cannot be declared as invalid in order to give mercy appointment to his son.
The judgment of the HC was challenged by the coal mines workers organisation in the apex court. The SC upheld the decision of the HC.
