Vs.
B. Bangaramma

C.A.No.4297 of 1998

                                      (G.T.Nanavati and S.P.Kurdukar JJ.)

                                                      21.08.1998

ORDER

1. Leave granted.

2. Heard learned counsel for the parties.

3. It is now well settled that ordinarily the courts shall not direct the employer to create a new post
and appoint kith and kin of the ex-employee on compassionate grounds. The High Court was wrong
in directing the appellants to create one post and appoint the respondent on that post on
compassionate grounds. Therefore, we allow this appeal and set aside the impugned judgment and
order of the High Court. Still, it will be open to the appellants to accommodate her if there is any
vacant post and it is otherwise possible to do so.
