    The High Court dismissed the writ petition on grounds of delay and laches. The petitioner's father died in 1999; the petitioner applied for compassionate appointment in 2012 (rejected), filed a writ petition in 2015 (allowed in 2019 with directions to reconsider), filed a contempt petition in 2021, and filed the current petition in 2026. The court held that the 18-year delay defeated the very basis of compassionate appointment and the petitioner had "missed the bus." This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
