Karkera for Petitioner None for Respondent CORAM: F. I. REBELLO & ROSHAN DALVI JJ. Date: 24/11 / 2005 P.C. The Petitioner seeks employment on compassionate basis. The father of the Petitioner is working as a regular Khalasi, in group D post. The mother of the Petitioner was working as a casual labourer on temporary basis. Consequent upon her death the Petitioner sought appointment on compassionate basis. The Petitioner has not pased 8th standard. The learned Tribunal after considering various contentions including the fact that the father of the Petitioner is in employment and also that there was no power to relax the minimum qualification found no case for directing appointment on compassionate grounds. After considering the reasoning adopted by the Tribunal on all aspects, including relaxation of minimum 2 qualification and the fact that the father of the Petitioner was working as a group D employee we do not find any reason to interfere in exercise of the extra ordinary jurisdiction. Petition stands dismissed. (F. I. REBELLO J.) ( ROSHAN DALVI J.)
