Sister’s name substituted for her brother’s on the waitlist for a government job on compassionate grounds

The Bombay High Court directs the Nashik Municipal Corporation to substitute the name of a sister with the name of her brother, with his consent, on a waitlist for a government job on compassionate grounds. A government resolution makes an exception for compassionate appointment only in the event of death; however, the Court held that was not a valid reason to refuse substitution of name of a candidate on the waitlist for a job when the brother has already secured another job.
