Authority: High Court of Uttarakhand at Nainital
Order Date: 18 September 2026
Case Overview
- Parties: Appellant Ramesh Chandra Yadav vs. Respondents Doiwala Sugar Company Limited & Another.
- Proceedings: Special Appeal No.276 of 2026 filed against the order of the learned Single Judge dated 07.09.2021 in WPMS No.2878/2015.
- Delay: The office reported a filing delay of 1,713 days. The appellant’s affidavit cited a “hectic effort” to obtain relevant papers, with counsel approached only in March‑April 2026.
- Original Writ Petition: Filed by Doiwala Sugar Company Limited (non‑appellant No.1) challenging an order dated 27.03.2015 of the Uttarakhand Other Backward Class Commission directing a compassionate appointment for the appellant.
- Single Judge Findings: The Commission lacked authority to issue such a direction; the appellant’s father died in 1979, making the 2015 compassionate appointment order, issued three decades later, unwarranted. The appellant’s own case indicated the compassionate appointment application was filed in 1985.
- Age Consideration: The appellant is now 62 years old, further weakening any claim for compassionate appointment.
Final Outcome
- The delay condonation application (IA No.1/2026) is dismissed.
- The special appeal is dismissed in its entirety.
