High Court Revokes Younger Son's Govt Job, Orders Elder Son to Take Position

An order from the High Court on Tuesday annulled the appointment of the younger son of a deceased government employee to a compassionate government post. The court held that the vacancy should be filled by the elder son, who had been the rightful heir under the rules governing such appointments. The decision follows a petition filed by the elder son, who argued that the appointment of his younger brother violated the established priority guidelines. The court directed the relevant authorities to withdraw the younger son’s appointment and to offer the position to the elder son. The ruling underscores the importance of adhering to statutory procedures in government appointments.
