Intelligible Differentia: Supreme Court Upholds State Policy To Deny Bonus Marks To NRHM/NHM Employees In Other States
Case: Satya Dev Bhagaur & Ors. V The State Of Rajasthan And Ors.
Coram: Justices LN Rao and BR Gavai
Case No.: Civil Appeal No. 1422 Of 2022
Court Observation: “It is trite that the Courts would be slow in interfering in the policy matters, unless the policy is found to be palpably discriminatory and arbitrary. This court would not interfere with the policy decision when a State is in a position to point out that there is intelligible differentia in application of policy and that such intelligible differentia has a nexus with the object sought to be achieved.”

“We are in complete agreement with the aforesaid observations of the Division Bench. We find that the policy of the State of Rajasthan to restrict the benefit of bonus marks only to such employees who have worked under different organizations in the State of Rajasthan and to employees working under the NHM/NRHM schemes in the State of Rajasthan, cannot be said to be arbitrary,”
