Recently, the Supreme Court (SC) ruled that compassionate employment is not a vested right but a relief measure for families after a government employee's death.

  • The ruling addressed a case where appointment claims were made after significant delays, undermining the usual urgency for such applications.
    • SC highlighted that claims for compassionate appointments must be pursued promptly.
  • Appointments are contingent on statutory policies and guidelines and not a service condition or entitlement.
  • If no policy or rule exists, appointments on compassionate grounds cannot be made.
  • Compassionate employment serves as an exception to the rule of merit-based appointments, reflecting the state's responsibility to assist affected families.
