Chhattisgarh High Court has quashed a compassionate appointment granted to a younger son of a deceased government employee, ruling that the elder son holds first priority under the applicable government circular and that the appointment was made without following the correct order of consideration.
The order was passed on 11 August 2026 by Justice Sanjay K. Agrawal of the High Court of Chhattisgarh at Bilaspur, in a writ petition filed by the elder son challenging an appointment order dated 7 August 2019.
