Madras HCWP/44684/2016
Case brief
AI extract
What is this about?
In this writ petition, the High Court of Madras dismissed the applicant's plea seeking compassionate appointment after a lapse of over 15 years from the death of his father. The Court held that the scheme is an exception intended to mitigate immediate financial crisis, rendering such claims time-barred as indigent circumstances are legally presumed to vanish after 15 years.
What did the court decide?
Writ petition dismissed; no direction for compassionate appointment granted; consequently connected miscellaneous petition also dismissed.
