FERTILIZERS AND CHEMICALS TRAVANCORE LTD. vs ANUSREE K.B.

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision directing Fertilizers and Chemicals Travancore Ltd. to consider the appointment of Anusree K.B. on compassionate grounds after her father's death in service. The court emphasized the need for a humane approach in compassionate appointments, especially when the application was made years after the employee's death. The court found that the rejection based on the policy was not justified given the circumstances of the case.
