IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.927 of 2008 Date of Decision: 22.1.2008 Satyapal Petitioner Versus State of Haryana and others Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASBIR SINGH HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASWANT SINGH Present: Shri S.P.Chahar, Advocate for the petitioner Jasbir Singh, J. (Oral) The petitioner’s father died on 25.4.2005. He made a prayer for appointment on compassionate basis. In response to his application, letter (Annexure P/2), was sent to him, stating that in view of new Policy, which came into existence on 1.8.2006, he may get ex-gratia financial assistance as per provisions of above said Policy. It is an admitted fact that under the old Policy, government had been reserving 5% posts for dependents of the deceased government employees, to give them appointment on compassionate basis. By now, those posts may not be available. We feel that it will be in the interest of the petitioner, if he accepts offer made by the State government vide Annexure P/2 because that will be more beneficial to the family. If the petitioner accepts offer made vide letter Annexure P/2 within 15 days from today, necessary benefits be released to him within two weeks thereafter. Disposed of.
