In Brief
A deserted woman belonging to the Scheduled Caste category with three children sought appointment as a Peon, despite being denied selection. Although the State reported no current vacancy, the Supreme Court invoked Article 142 of the Constitution to do complete justice. The Court directed the State to accommodate the appellant in the first available Class IV vacancy in District Buldhana, emphasizing that this order was confined to the special circumstances of her case and would not serve as precedent for future appointments.
