In Brief
Chandrabosh Tripathi's application for compassionate appointment with Madhya Pradesh Electricity Board was rejected. The Supreme Court granted leave to appeal and disposed of the case with directions. The Court ordered the Board to complete formalities and pass formal orders within three weeks, reconsidering the appellant's case on two grounds: eligibility and availability of vacancies. Importantly, the Court clarified that prior adverse judgments and review orders would not bar such reconsideration, given the peculiar circumstances. No costs were awarded.
