‘No sudden crisis after 20 years’: Madhya Pradesh High Court denies BSNL compassionate job to engineer son
Indian Express·3h ago·Neutral
What Happened
The Madhya Pradesh High Court denied compassionate appointment to a BSNL employee's son, ruling that 20 years elapsed since the father's 2005 death eliminates the "sudden financial crisis" requirement. The court noted the family funded the petitioner's engineering degree, indicating financial stability. Compassionate appointments address immediate hardship, not long-term support. BSNL had rejected the 2005 application, citing insufficient points under its policy threshold.
