Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court modified the High Court's order directing the appointment of the respondent to a Class-IV position, which was deemed extraordinary given the existing ban on appointments. The Court held that the respondent's case, based on her husband's death in harness, should be considered under the relevant compassionate appointment scheme rather than creating a post. The appeal was allowed in part, directing proper consideration of the respondent's representation.
