As per case facts, the petitioner's father, an Assistant Accounts Officer on contract in Janpad Panchayat Datia, tragically passed away due to COVID-19. His son applied for compassionate appointment under ... a State Government scheme for COVID-19 related deaths. The initial application was rejected as the petitioner was a minor at the time. Upon attaining majority, he reapplied, but his claim was again rejected. Consequently, he filed a Writ Petition, which the Writ Court allowed, setting aside the rejection and directing reconsideration. The State then filed an appeal challenging this order. The question arose as to whether the deceased father's salary was disbursed from the Consolidated Fund of India or the State, which was a mandatory eligibility criterion for the compassionate appointment scheme. The State contended that the salary was drawn from the MGNREGA scheme, a centrally sponsored fund, not the Consolidated Fund of the State. Finally, the High Court allowed the State's appeal, setting aside the Writ Court's order. The Court found that the father's salary originated from a centrally funded scheme and not the Consolidated Fund of the State, rendering the specific compassionate appointment clause inapplicable. However, the Court also directed the respondent to reconsider the petitioner's case for compassionate appointment within the local unit (Janpad Panchayat), if available, based on other policy clauses from the relevant circulars within two months.
