Summary

Petitioner sought compassionate appointment despite a conviction followed by release on probation. HELD-Section 12 of the Probation of Offenders Act removes conviction-based disqualification, subject to its proviso. Rejecting the claim solely on conviction violated the Act and the State circular. Writ disposed of; rejection set aside and case remitted for fresh consideration without treating probation as a disqualification, subject to eligibility and merit.
