Orders
Summary: The High Court of Punjab and Haryana set aside the Market Committee, Malout's rejection of Jagseer Singh's financial assistance claim for his brother's death from electric shock during agricultural work. Although Singh filed his application 9 months after the incident (3 months late under the 6-month deadline), the court held that beneficial policies must be interpreted liberally and the delay was not exorbitant. The respondents were directed to consider the claim on merits within 3 months. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
