Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court granting compassionate appointment to the son of a missing employee. The court found that the termination of the husband’s service was invalid due to the lack of proper procedure following his disappearance. The judgment emphasized the importance of compassionate grounds in employment matters, particularly in cases of missing persons.
