Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to direct Fertilizers and Chemicals Travancore Ltd. to consider the appointment of Anusree K.B. on compassionate grounds following her father's death while on duty. The court noted that the delay in seeking appointment did not negate the merit of the claim, emphasizing the need for compassion in employment policies for dependents of deceased employees. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's ruling.
