ORDER : P.B. Sawant, J. - Special leave granted. Heard counsel for the parties. The High Court has proceeded on an erroneous view of the law on the subject. Compassionate employment is to be given to the parties satisfying the requirements only if there are vacancies and not otherwise. To direct the employer to create supernumerary posts to accommodate such employees is not warranted by the rules. Hence the direction is set aside. However, since the employees concerned have already been accommodated and they have been working till date, we are not interfering with the employment of the respondent-employees in these particular matters. However, it is made clear that the High Court should not pass such directions which are as stated earlier not warranted by law. 2. The appeals are disposed of accordingly with no order as to costs.
