This judgment in the centre: on the left the decisions it cites, on the right the decisions citing it. Colour is the treatment; choose a decision to open it.
1. Contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that father of the petitioner was Barber in U.P. Police, who died in harness. Thereafter, petitioner applied for compassionate appointment under Dying in Harness Rules and has been appointed on the post of Cook in the Police Department, by the order impugned passed by respondent No. 5. It has been further submitted that petitioner is a Barber and he does not know cooking and the post of barber is also vacant in the establishment, therefore instead of being appointed as Cook he may be appointed as Barber.
2. Learned Standing Counsel has submitted that grievance of the petitioner may be examined by the authorities first before considering this writ petition.
3. In view of the same, petitioner is given liberty to move an appropriate application before respondent No. 4 for redressal of his grievances within two weeks from today and in case such an application is moved, same shall be considered and decided by respondent No. 4 sympathetically, considering the case of the petitioner within a period of twelve weeks thereafter.
4. It is made clear that this court has not examined the matter on merits and the order shall be passed strictly in accordance with law.
5. Accordingly, the petition stands disposed of. October 1, 2026 Nitika Sri. Versus Counsel for Petitioner(s) : Mohd. Yaseen, Siddharth Khare Counsel for Respondent(s) : C.S.C.
