Compassionate employment: SC says scheme to address indigence of family; denies relief to man whose father left him two houses, 33 acres

The Supreme Court denied compassionate employment to Ravi Kumar Jeph, son of a deceased government employee, citing the family's sound financial status. Jeph's father left behind substantial assets, including residential properties, agricultural land, and a generous monthly pension. The court emphasized that compassionate employment aims to prevent penury and isn't a right, especially when the family possesses adequate resources.
