DISTRICT MAGISTRATE NAINITAL vs GHANSHYAM SINGH BISHT Advocate - SANJAY BHATT — SPA/132/2026

Case Summary: SPA/132/2026 The Uttarakhand High Court dismissed the State's appeal and upheld the respondent's right to compassionate appointment under the Dying in Harness Rules. The court found that the respondent's father, though initially appointed as a seasonal Collection Amin in 1994, had rendered continuous service for over three years in a regular vacancy and was thus covered under Rule 2(a)(iii) of the Rules as a "Government Servant." Since his regularization was later confirmed by court orders (2009-2010), the State cannot retroactively deny his status to reject his son's compassionate appointment claim.
