Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of writ petitions filed by Ahmednagar Mahanagar Palika, affirming the Industrial Court's orders for compassionate appointments to the heirs of deceased employees. The court emphasized the binding nature of the earlier agreement made in 1981 regarding employment for heirs of Class-IV employees. The judgment reinforces the principle of compassionate appointment as a legitimate expectation for the families of deceased employees.
