# Allahabad HC: Salary cannot be denied if appointment order stands 2026-08-10T06:21:25+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Allahabad High Court ruled that salary cannot be denied to an employee on compassionate appointment as long as the approval order remains in force. Justice Manju Rani held that an administrative order which has not been withdrawn, recalled or annulled must be given effect, and its benefits cannot be refused indirectly. The court said that simply raising objections does not justify withholding salary. The judgment reinforces that a live order must be honoured until a competent authority cancels it. The case was reported by LiveLaw. ## Coverage - livelaw.in Tags: administrative order, Allahabad High Court, compassionate appointment, court ruling, government employment, salary Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/allahabad-hc-salary-cannot-be-denied-if-appointment-order-stands/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
