The Orissa High Court made a decision to allow the wife of a CRPF man, who got hurt in a bomb blast, to get a job as a head constable.
The court said this is important because the CRPF man risked his life to protect the country, and it's the government's job to help his family.
The court also quoted a famous writer, George Orwell, to explain why this is the right thing to do.
The government had tried to stop this appointment, but the court said no and supported the wife getting the job.
