Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the interim order of the High Court directing the appellant to grant compassionate appointment to the respondent No.1, as the High Court was not justified in granting such relief at the admission stage of the second appeal. The Court emphasized that the second appeal was pending and the merits had not been addressed, instructing the High Court to resolve the appeal within six months. The decision clarifies that interim relief cannot be granted without a thorough examination of the case's merits.
