IN THE GAUHATI HIGH COURT (HIGH COURT OF ASSAM, NAGALAND, MIZORAM & ARUNACHAL PRADESH)
KAUSHIK GOSWAMI
Bibhuranjan Nath, S/o- Late Balen Ch. Nath – Appellant
Versus
State of Assam – Respondent
JUDGMENT :
KAUSHIK GOSWAMI, J.
Heard Mr. J. Kalita, learned counsel, appearing for the petitioner. Also heard Mr. D. Bora, learned Government Advocate, appearing for the State respondents.
2. By way of this writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, the petitioner, i.e., Bibhuranjan Nath is seeking appointment on compassionate grounds.
3. The brief facts of the case are that the petitioner’s father, i.e., the Late Balen Ch. Nath, who was working as a Forester Grade-I in the Office of the Divisional Forest Officer (DFO), Forest Resources Survey Division, Santipur, Guwahati, died in harness on 21.11.2015. Thereafter, in the month of January, 2016, the petitioner presented an application before the authority seeking appointment on compassionate grounds; however, since the same was allegedly not registered, the petitioner on 08.08.2017 again applied for appointment on compassionate grounds by filling out the requisite Proforma (Annexure-B) to the writ petition. Thereafter, the District Level Committee (hereinafter referred to as the “DLC”) placed the case of the petitioner in its meeting dated 19.06.2018, whereby the case of the petitioner has been rejected on the ground
Compassionate appointment is not a vested right; prolonged delay in application undermines the immediacy required for such claims.
Compassionate appointment must be claimed promptly to address immediate financial crises; delay undermines the claim.
Compassionate appointments must be considered promptly to address immediate financial crises; undue delay can render applications stale and ineligible.
The need for immediacy in providing compassionate appointment and disentitling relief due to undue delay.
Compassionate appointments must be sought without undue delay, as prolonged delays can negate the urgency and purpose of such provisions.
Compassionate appointment claims are contingent on urgency; significant delays may render applications stale and unjustified, nullifying the relief sought.
