The Karnataka High Court has directed the Northwestern Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (NKSRTC) to reconsider an application for compassionate appointment. The application, submitted by the widow of a former NKSRTC employee, was initially rejected because she had exceeded the cut-off age of 43 years for such benefits. The High Court's order mandates a re-evaluation of the application, emphasizing the need to consider a relaxable or extendable age limit, taking into account the specific circumstances of the case. The Corporation has been given eight weeks to complete this reconsideration.
