Compassionate Appointment | 25-Year Delay Defeats Immediacy Doctrine: MP HC Gwalior Rejects Writ Petition
MP High Court Gwalior holds that a 25-year delay in seeking compassionate appointment extinguishes the claim, as the doctrine's core objective-immediate financial relief-is defeated by prolonged inaction. The ruling underscores that representations made decades later cannot revive entitlement, even if prior applications were unaddressed.
