Analysis and Conclusion:
Compassionate appointment can be granted for Class-III posts under specific conditions, primarily when the applicant is eligible, within the prescribed quota (3%), and in accordance with applicable policies and circulars. However, it is not a matter of right, and claims exceeding the quota, involving procedural violations, or contrary to policy are likely to be rejected. Each case requires careful examination of eligibility, policy adherence, and the circumstances of the applicant.
