High Court Orders Haryana to Grant Job to Battle Casualty Officer's Son
The Punjab and Haryana High Court has directed the Haryana government to grant compassionate appointment to Saksham Rathore, son of Brigadier Abhimanyu Singh Rathore, who died during Operation Snow Leopard in 2023 and was declared a battle casualty. The court criticized the state for denying benefits by distinguishing between 'battle casualty' and 'martyr,' calling this stance unsympathetic and contrary to policy. It quashed multiple rejection orders and ordered the state to consider the petitioner's eligibility within four months.
