Event Summary

The India — Madras High Court permitted the India — Tamil Nadu government to issue temporary government job appointments to families of the 41 victims of the September 2025 Karur stampede, which occurred during a TVK rally addressed by Chief Minister Vijay. The court ruled that appointments are temporary and subject to judicial review, and impleaded the Tamil Nadu — Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission to report on compassionate appointment guidelines.
