In Brief
Seema Kausar sought Special Leave to Appeal against the High Court's dismissal of her petition for compassionate employment following the death of a government employee. The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision, affirming that compassionate appointments must strictly comply with government policy in effect at the time of the employee's death or application, and only when all eligibility criteria are met. Finding no error in the High Court's reasoning, the Court dismissed the appeal, establishing that judicial review of such appointments is limited to policy compliance and eligibility verification."
