Holding
The petition was disposed as the matter was pending before the authorities per the instructions dated 14-04-2026.
Summary
Gautam Kumar filed a writ petition seeking either appointment on compassionate grounds as a Home Guard volunteer or a monetary assistance of Rs.5,00,000 to his mother. The petition was heard before Hon'ble Justice Prakash Padia. The Court recorded instructions dated 14-04-2026 from the Deputy Commandant General, which indicated that the matter was still pending before the authorities and that the eligible dependents of a deceased Home Guard would be considered for compassionate appointment and financial assistance. Since the instructions showed that the decision was yet to be taken by the concerned authorities, the Court disposed of the petition in accordance with paragraph 15 of the instructions. No substantive order on the merits was made, and the petitioner was directed to await the pending administrative action.
