Danish Khan, Civil Appeal\nNo. 7803 of 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Background<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>Deceased was the driver for The\nRajasthan State Road Transport Corporation (TRSRT) who died in an accident while\ndriving the bus of the TRSRT. His son claimed for Rs. 1, 35, 50, 000 before the\nMotor Accident Claim Tribunal, Tonk (Tribunal), but compensation of Rs. 22, 95,\n775 was only granted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He later on claimed for compassionated\nappointment before TRSRT, which was rejected on the ground of Regulation 4(3)\nof the Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation Compassionate Appointment\nRegulations, 2010 (Regulation). Regulation 4(3) states that, if a worker has\ndied while in TRSRT\u2019s vehicle, the dependant of the deceased cannot claim for\ncompassionate appointment after claiming compensation from TRSRT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, Matter went to the Rajasthan High Court, wherein Court held Regulation 4(3) of the Regulation to be violative of Article 14 of the Constitution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reason given by the High Court<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>The classification was made by\nthe TRSRT that, there are two kinds of dependant, one where deceased dies in\nTRSRT\u2019s vehicle and other where deceased dies in other\u2019s vehicles. Both cannot\nbe treated differently. Hence it was held violative of the Article 14 of the\nConstitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Supreme Court\u2019s ruling<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>TSRTC has classified dependant into two category, first one is where the deceased dies in the vehicle which is not of TRSRT. In this situation dependant can claim for compensation from the insurance company, as no claim has been made by TRSRT, TRSRT will consider the application of Compassionate Appointment. While in other situation, compensation will be claimed from TRSRT, due to which there will be a burden over TRSRT, hence it will balance it by not providing passionate compensation. Both the classifications are not identical. Both of which is not treated equally, therefore Regulation 4(3) cannot be said to be discriminatory and hence, is not violative of Article 14.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rohit Pradhan | 10th October 2019 Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation v.
