Compassionate employment: SC says scheme to address indigence of family; denies relief to man whose father left him two houses, 33 acres
Supreme Court NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Tuesday said compassionate employment to kin of a government employee dying in harness was to prevent penury for the family and denied this to a young man whose father had left behind two residential houses, 33 acres of agricultural land and a family pension of Rs 85,000 per month. A partial working day bench of Justices Ujjal Bhuyan and Manmohan dismissed the plea of one Ravi Kumar Jeph, whose father had died in August 2015 while working as principal commissioner (Central Excise), who had sought compassionate employment in the office of the chief commissioner, CGST and Central Excise (Jaipur zone), Rajasthan. The Central Administrative Tribunal and Rajasthan High Court had both dismissed Jeph's plea for compassionate employment, upholding the department's stand that the family had adequate resources to live comfortably. The departmental committee examined the cases of 19 applicants for compassionate employment and recommended the recruitment of only three of the most deserving candidates. The department had said that compassionate employment cannot be claimed as a matter of right and that claims for such employment were considered in only those cases where the families faced indigence. Rejecting Jeph's request for compassionate employment, the committee had said that 'family of deceased govt servant comprise of his wife, daughter and a son. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Both the son and daughter are unmarried and unemployed. The family has a residential house in the village, 33 acres of agricultural land, a HIG house in Jaipur… Family is getting Rs 85,000 as monthly pension. The monthly income of the family appears to be sufficient for livelihood as well as fulfilment of social obligations'. On compassionate employment, the SC has repeatedly ruled that compassionate appointment is an exception to the general rule and the candidates must fulfill the criteria laid down for such appointments. 'No aspirant has a right to compassionate employment,' it had said. The SC had said, 'Indigence of the dependants of the deceased employee is the fundamental condition to be satisfied under any scheme for appointment on compassionate ground and that if such indigence is not proved, grant of relief in furtherance of protective discrimination would result in a sort of reservation for the dependents of the employee dying-in-harness, thereby directly conflicting with the ideal of equality guaranteed under Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution.

I-Sec upgrades Fusion Finance to Buy, target price revised to Rs 225
ICICI Securities has upgraded Fusion Finance to Buy from Reduce with a revised target price of Rs 225 (earlier Rs 160). The current market price of Fusion Finance is Rs 197.1. Fusion Finance, incorporated in 1994, is a Small Cap company with a market cap of Rs 2585.68 crore, operating in the NBFC sector. Fusion Finance's key products/revenue segments include Interest, Income From Financial Services, Income From Sale Of Share & Securities and Fees & Commission Income for the year ending 31-Mar-2024. Financials For the quarter ended 31-03-2025, the company has reported a Standalone Total Income of Rs 475.99 crore, down -1.35 % from last quarter Total Income of Rs 482.51 crore and down -29.50 % from last year same quarter Total Income of Rs 675.14 crore. The company has reported net profit after tax of Rs -164.56 crore in the latest quarter. The company?s top management includes Sachdev, Dharashree Vishwanathan, Kaul, Vaish, Ostawal, Dan Vander Weele. Company has S R Batliboi & Associates LLP as its auditors. As on 31-03-2025, the company has a total of 10 crore shares outstanding. Investment Rationale ICICI Securities notes that subdued AUM growth in H1FY26, rising borrowing cost and sticky operating cost (C-I ratio at ~70% in Q4FY25) would keep PPoP muted in the near-term; however, they believe stressed asset formation has peaked out and credit cost?s improving trajectory shall continue ahead. Early recognition of stress and accelerated provisions (>95% PCR on Stage-3 assets with NNPL at 0.30%, as on Mar?25), capital infusion via rights (proforma CRAR at ~30%+), X bucket CE increasing to 98.4% in Mar?25 (from 97.1% in Q3FY25) and gradual normalisation of disbursements over FY26 would enable recovery in earnings over FY26E?27E. Given inexpensive valuation (PBV at 0.9x FY27E BVPS) and encouraging signs of new initiatives yielding positive outcomes, the brokerage upgrades to BUY (Reduce earlier) with a revised target price of Rs 225 (earlier Rs 160), valuing the stock at 1.2x Sep-26E BVPS (earlier 0.6x Sep-25E BVPS). Promoter/FII Holdings Promoters held 57.71 per cent stake in the company as of 31-Mar-2025, while FIIs owned 1.69 per cent, DIIs 16.91 per cent. ETMarkets WhatsApp channel )
