The verdict of the Madras High Court gave a sigh of relief for a person, who has been fighting to get employment from the state-owned BSNL on compassionate grounds after his father, an employee of the company died.
The case reached the court, after the petitioner, G Vijaya Prasanna who has been fighting to seek employment knocking on the doors of the High Court. He has been fighting for the job since 2003.
The two-judge bench comprising Justice M Sathyanarayanan and Justice R Hemalatha pulled up the state-run Telecommunications company for not appointing a deserving candidate.
With a serious tone, the bench said, giving employment on the compassionate ground is not a temple prasad or a charity act.
The petitioner told the court that his application filed in 2004 was kept on hold for a decade. In 2014, he got a reply from the authorities to file a new application in the new format.
The High Court added that losing a sole breadwinner will create an imbalance in the family with low income and directed the company to appoint the petitioner in three months.
