Allahabad High Court Upholds Assignment of Census Duties to LIC Employees
The Allahabad High Court upheld the decision to assign census duties to Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) employees, dismissing a writ petition by North Central Zone Insurance Employees challenging this move. The court found no error in the authority's order, noting that the Census Act, 1948, when read with relevant sections, permits engaging employees from establishments like LIC for census work. The petitioners argued LIC employees are not local authorities under the law, but the court rejected this interpretation.
