Case brief
What is this about?
Compassionate ground appointment — Bank of Baroda respondent — claim declined by order dated 08.12.2020 — writ petition filed in 2024 — dismissed solely on delay and laches — mere filing of writ petition to decide representation does not condone delay — long delay infers cessation of financial destitution caused by employee's death (relying on para 25, Ashish Yadav v. MD, UPSRTC, Writ A No. 17483 of 2024) — single judge, Ajay Bhanot, J. — Allahabad High Court, 05.03.2025 — neutral citation 2025:AHC:31733.
What did the court decide?
No satisfactory cause for the delay in assailing the impugned order in the writ petition was shown, and the mere filing of a writ petition to decide a representation does not condone the petitioner's delay. ¶6
