Mumtaz Yunus Mulani vs State Of Maharashtra & Ors

The Supreme Court ruled that the appellant, a widow seeking compassionate appointment after her husband's death, was not entitled to such appointment due to her receipt of family pension and other income sources. The Court emphasized that compassionate appointments are meant to address immediate financial crises, and the decision must align with the applicable government scheme. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling that denied the appointment based on the existing scheme and the appellant's financial situation.
