TRUE COPY PA TO JUDGE C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. .................................................................... W.P.(C) No.15290 of 2004 .................................................................... Dated this the 19th day of June, 2008. JUDGMENT The W.P. is filed by petitioners seeking employment for the first petitioner under the compassionate employment scheme. First petitioner's father died while in service of the BSNL on 20.6.2001. Application filed for considering first petitioner for employment was rejected by BSNL because even according to the certificate produced by the petitioners, the family income was above Rs.10,000/- a month. The petitioners have filed another application now reducing the family income on the ground that the earning member got married and is settled elsewhere. I do not think repeated applications are maintainable for employment on ground of compassion because family needs have to be considered contemporaneous to and soon after death of the person on whom other family members were depending. Since death occurred seven years back, there is no scope for considering the compassionate appointment any longer. The W.P. is accordingly dismissed. C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR Judge pms
