Compassionate Appointment Cannot Override Merit-Based Teacher Recruitment | Violates Article 21A: Allahabad HC
The Allahabad High Court held that compassionate appointments are meant to provide immediate financial relief to dependents, not career advancement, and cannot be used to bypass competitive recruitment for specialized roles like teachers. Allowing such appointments undermines the constitutional right to quality education under Article 21A and erodes the integrity of public employment standards.
