    Case Summary: The High Court of Punjab & Haryana dismissed Parneet Kaur's petition seeking compassionate appointment following her father's death in 2014. The court held that her application, filed over 9 years after her father's death, exceeded the 5-year limit under Punjab's 2002 compassionate appointment policy and did not qualify as a "genuine belated request." Citing Supreme Court precedent, the court reasoned that compassionate appointment is not a vested right but a temporary relief for immediate financial hardship, and prolonged delay indicates the crisis has been overcome, making the claim ineligible regardless of family disputes that may have caused the delay. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
