KENDRIYA VIDYALAYA SANGATHAN vs DHARMENDRA SHARMA

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Rajasthan High Court, affirming the Central Administrative Tribunal's order that directed the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan to consider the respondent's application for compassionate appointment despite a policy decision to privatize certain Group D services. The Court clarified that the policy did not negate the right to compassionate appointment as per the earlier CAT ruling. The appeal was dismissed, reinforcing the principle that compassionate appointments must be considered even in light of privatization policies.
