The Apex Court, while allowing an appeal, made an observation that Right to Equality enshrined under Article 14 of the Constitution of India is a vested right and it appears to be violated when equals are treated unequally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the appellant, the State government had accepted the proposal of KUDA to allot 200 sq. yard developed plot free of cost to each of the 134 ex-employees of a mill in the form of a rehabilitation and welfare measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knowing this, the 318 other retired workers who had opted for voluntary retirement along with the previous 134 workers made a representation before the government for allotting them the plot. However, the government rejected their request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aggrieved by this, the workers\u2019 approached High Court.<\/a> The single-bench High Court had allowed the writ petition<\/a>, but upon appeal, the Division bench had set aside the judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appellants\u2019 then approached the apex court wherein they contended that there stands no reasonable differentia<\/a> between the 134 ex-employees who had taken voluntary retirement and remaining 318 who had also taken up the benefit of voluntary retirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bench accepted the contentions made by appellant and stated that for a classification to be valid, they must stand two tests- the distinguishing rationale should be based on a just objective and the choice of differentiating two sets of persons <\/a>ought to bear a reasonable nexus to the objects sought to be achieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bench further observed that there had been no justification for treating 318 ex-employees different from the 134 ex-employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, the bench restored the single bench judgment and directed the state government to allot plots to the remaining 318 ex-employees as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
