KALYANJI SOMCHAND MAHESHWARI vs PASCHIM GUJARAT VIJ CO.LTD. SUPREINTENDENT ENGINEER — C.A. No. 465/2013

Case Summary: Kalyanji Somchand Maheshwari v. Paschim Gujarat Vij Co. Ltd. (C.A. No. 465/2013) The Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's appeal on October 12, 2023, upholding the High Court's Division Bench judgment. The Court found that the appellant was ineligible for compassionate appointment because his elder brother was already employed with Bharat Petroleum Corporation. Although the appellant's mother submitted two applications—disclosing the brother's employment in the first but concealing it in the second—the appellant's appointment was based on the incomplete application. The Court ruled that internal family arrangements (the brother's separate residence and ration card) cannot override the Standing Order 295's explicit condition denying compassionate employment benefits when any family member is already employed. The appeal was dismissed with no order as to costs. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
