Orders
The High Court at Calcutta dismissed the writ petition filed by Smt. Protima Mahapatra seeking compassionate appointment following her father's death-in-harness in 2003. The Court held that compassionate appointment is discretionary relief intended to address immediate financial crises, not a claimable right, and that her application filed nearly nineteen years after the employee's death was fatally belated and did not merit consideration. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
