Orders
The Calcutta High Court dismissed the writ petition filed by Nabakumar Payra seeking compassionate appointment following his father's death by suicide while in police service in 1998. The court held that the petitioner's claim was barred by delay and laches, as he applied 17 years after his father's death (having attained majority only 10 years after), and that a tribunal's interim direction to reconsider cannot resuscitate an otherwise stale claim. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
