R.K.Guru Hari Haara Suthan Vs Commissioner of Commercial Taxes (Madras High Court)
Madras High Court has directed the Commissioner of Commercial Taxes and other respondents to consider the compassionate appointment application of R.K.Guru Hari Haara Suthan. The petitioner, identified as the adopted son of the late Mr. S. Sathis Kumar, sought a position on compassionate grounds following his adopted father’s death on March 25, 2021, while employed in the Commercial Tax Department.
The petitioner submitted applications on September 22, 2021, and December 17, 2024, but stated that these had not been processed. During the court proceedings, the learned Government Advocate, representing the respondents, confirmed that the department had received the application. However, it was returned to the petitioner on April 30, 2025, with a request for clarification and additional documents.
Considering these submissions, the court deemed it appropriate to instruct the petitioner to furnish the requested documents within four weeks of receiving the court order. Upon receipt of these documents, the respondents are mandated to assess the compassionate appointment application on its merits and in accordance with the law, completing the process within six weeks thereafter. The writ petition has been disposed of with these directions, and no costs were imposed. No specific judicial precedents were cited in the provided text.
