This discussion explores whether an individual appointed as a Junior Assistant under SRO-43 on compassionate grounds, despite holding a B.Tech degree, can be promoted to a Junior Engineer position. Generally, compassionate appointments are restricted to the Junior Assistant level or below, and are considered a privilege, not a right. While direct departmental promotion to a technical post is unlikely, the individual may apply for a Junior Engineer role through the proper channels in the same or another department. If successful, they could potentially transfer with benefits via technical resignation.
