UNION OF INDIA vs AMRITA SINHA

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court affirming the Central Administrative Tribunal's order for the reconsideration of Amrita Sinha's application for compassionate appointment. The court noted that the previous rejections were based on merit points, but emphasized the need to consider the compassionate grounds due to the respondent's circumstances following her husband's death. The court directed the Union of India to reassess the application in light of the compassionate appointment scheme.
