Karnataka High Court comes to aide of age-barred widow to get job on compassionate grounds in NWKRTC

The court considered it as a special case as Lakshmavva of Gadag, who had lost her husband who was employed in NWKRTC, had no means to earn a livelihood. The couple have no children, who could have been considered for appointment instead of her as she had crossed the age limit for the post.
