Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal to appoint Ms. Madhuri Maruti Vidhate on compassionate grounds following the death of her father, who was employed by the State of Maharashtra. The court found that the rejection of her elder sister's application for appointment was unjustified, as the compassionate appointment policy should consider the family's circumstances after the primary breadwinner's death. Consequently, the court dismissed the appeal filed by the State of Maharashtra.
