    Case Summary: WPA 6952/2026 The High Court at Calcutta dismissed the petitioner's writ petition seeking compassionate appointment following his father's death-in-harness in 2008. Although the petitioner's application was filed within the stipulated two-year period, Justice Amrita Sinha held that he lacked diligence in pursuing the claim and approached the court belatedly—nearly eighteen years later in 2026. The court reasoned that compassionate appointment is an exception to general recruitment rules intended for immediate financial relief, and the petitioner's prolonged delay negated his eligibility despite the amended 2016 notification extending the time limit.
