DATE : 3RD MAY, 2007. P.C.: P.C.: P.C.: . The petitioner’s grievance is that his prayer for appointment on compassionate grounds is wrongly rejected by the State Government. Review is sought of the order dated 19th November, 2005 passed by this Court. We have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.G.P. for the State. 2. We have gone through affidavit of S.S.Ranade, Under Secretary to Government, General Administration Department, Mantralaya, Mumbai. It appears from the affidavit that the mother of the petitioner was declared medically unfit for service and she retired for that reason. It is further stated in the :2: :2: :2: affidavit that according to the revised condition a family member of the Government servant who is declared medically unfit for service and retires from service on that reason, is not treated as eligible for compassionate appointment. In our opinion, therefore, the prayer for appointment of the petitioner on compassionate ground is rightly rejected. Moreover, it is well settled that appointment on compassionate grounds is made to tide over sudden financial crisis and not to provide employment. We find that in the present case the application for appointment on compassionate ground was made one year and eight months after the petitioner’s mother retired from the service. Hence no case for review is made out. The review petition is rejected. (SMT.RANJANA DESAI, J.) (SMT.RANJANA DESAI, J.) (SMT.RANJANA DESAI, J.) (D.B.BHOSALE, J.) (D.B.BHOSALE, J.) (D.B.BHOSALE, J.)
