IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.5824 of 2010 Date of Decision : March 31, 2010. Rajwinder Kaur .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.S.K.Chawla, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner is unfortunate widow of late Sukhmander Singh who was deployed as a S.P.O. by the Punjab Police and is said to have served as such for near about 14-15 years when he died in a tragic road accident on 12.10.2009. The deceased has left behind the petitioner and his three minor children. The petitioner avers that there is no source of livelihood for the family as she has already lost her father-in-law also in a road accident. She applied for her employment on compassionate grounds but despite repeated representations including dated 20.10.2009 (Annexure P-1) no tangible action has been taken by the respondents. Aggrieved, the petitioner has approached this Court. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner at some length C.W.P.No .5824 of 2010 2 and owing to the plight of the petitioner and her minor children, I am of the considered view that the request made by the petitioner deserves immediate attention and sympathetic consideration by respondent Nos.2 & 3. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of at this stage with a direction to respondent No.2 to verify the factual assertions made by the petitioner and dispose of her claim in terms of the Government Policy/ Instructions and/or any relaxation thereto, if so permissible, so that the petitioner can have some source of livelihood.
