STATE OF U.P. vs MOHD. REHAN KHAN

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Allahabad High Court, which directed the State of Uttar Pradesh to consider the candidature of Mohd Rehan Khan for a Class IV post on compassionate grounds following the death of his father, a government employee. The court emphasized the importance of compassionate appointments in providing support to the families of deceased government servants. The appeal by the State was dismissed, reinforcing the legal provisions under the Uttar Pradesh Recruitment of Dependants of Government Servants Dying in Harness Rules.
