Issues involved:
The judgment deals with the issues related to appointment on compassionate grounds under the Die-in-Harness Scheme framed by the Government of Manipur. Appointment on Compassionate Grounds: - The Die-in-Harness Scheme was initially framed by the Government of Manipur to provide appointment to dependents of deceased government servants. - The Scheme was modified through corrigendum and revised later to specify eligibility criteria and application deadlines. - The Scheme was revised to clarify that it is applicable only to regular government employees and not to work-charged, ad hoc, or casual appointees. - The High Court allowed writ petitions seeking appointment under the Scheme for dependents of deceased work-charged employees, contrary to the revised Scheme. - The Supreme Court held that confirmation of a work-charged employee does not change their status, and the Scheme does not apply to work-charged employees or their dependents. - Dismissal of a special leave petition does not imply acceptance of the lower court's decision, and such dismissal does not establish binding precedent under Article 141 of the Constitution. - The judgments of the High Court directing consideration for appointment under the Scheme were set aside, and the appeals were allowed. Separate Judgement by Judges: - No separate judgment was delivered by the judges in this case.
