The Madhya Pradesh High Court in Praveen Kochak Versus The State Of Madhya Pradesh And Others, Writ Petition No. 26357 of 2021 has held that merely Mentioning Person’s Name In Official Documents As Nominee Is Of No Avail To Claim Compassionate Appointment.
The Madhya Pradesh High court held:
“…merely mentioning of the name of any person in the official documents referring the same to be the nominee of the employee is of no avail to such person to claim compassionate appointment on account of death of deceased employee in the face of a rival claim by the other family members of the deceased employee, as the compassionate appointment is provided under a policy formulated by the State Government and such policy would never promote the polygamy.”
