In Brief
This case involved a petition for compassionate employment. The Supreme Court granted leave and invoked its extraordinary jurisdiction under Article 142 of the Constitution to make absolute an interim order appointing the appellant on compassionate grounds. Despite the State raising a prior decision dismissing a similar petition, the Court found the peculiar facts of this case warranted invoking its plenary powers to end the dispute. The Court emphasized that this judgment was limited to its specific facts and should not be treated as precedent.
