Compassionate Appointment Eligibility Under West Bengal Scheme 2013 Requires Two-Year Service Tenure from Medical Incapacitation Date : Calcutta HC

The Calcutta High Court ruled that eligibility for compassionate appointment under the West Bengal Scheme for Compassionate Appointment, 2013, is determined by the employee's remaining service tenure on the date of medical incapacitation, not the date of retirement application. The court dismissed the petition, emphasizing that the Scheme mandates at least two years of service left at the time of medical declaration for eligibility.
