Case Summary: C.A. No. 000126/2004 The Supreme Court allowed the General Manager's appeal, overturning the High Court Division Bench's decision that had directed SBI to grant compassionate appointment to Kunti Tiwary's son. The Court held that the family did not meet the "penury" criterion for such appointment—their combined terminal benefits (provident fund, gratuity, leave encashment totaling ~₹6 lakhs), property worth ₹4.70 lakhs, investments, and pension income demonstrated they were not without means of livelihood. The Court rejected the Division Bench's diluted standard of "not very well to do" and upheld the Single Judge's dismissal, finding SBI's rejection rational and compliant with established policy.
