V.DINESH REDDY . vs B.UDAYA KUMAR — C.A. No. 5770/2007

Case Summary: C.A. No. 005770/2007 The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal filed by V. Dinesh Reddy against a High Court contempt order. The respondent B. Udaya Kumar had sought compassionate appointment after his father's death in 2002, initially for the Conductor post (age-barred), then the Shramik post. Although the High Court directed consideration for the Shramik position, the appellants failed to comply, citing amended qualification requirements (ITI Diesel Mechanic) and a 2001 government policy discontinuing compassionate appointments. The Supreme Court modified the High Court's order, directing payment of Rs. 1 lakh as monetary benefit in lieu of appointment (plus Rs. 50,000 for litigation costs) within four weeks, with 12% interest if unpaid. The appeal was dismissed. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
