Mgb Gramin Bank vs Chakrawarti Singh on 7 August, 2013
In support of her contention, she placed reliance on MGB
Gramin Bank Vs. Chakrawarti Singh (2014) 13 SCC 583 wherein in
paragraph No.6 it is held by the Hon'ble Apex Court that every
appointment to public office must be made by strictly adhering to the
mandatory requirements of Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution. An
exception by providing employment on compassionate grounds has been
carved out in order to remove the financial constraints on the bereaved
family, which has lost its breadearner. Mere death of a government
employee in harness does not entitle the family to claim compassionate
employment.
