IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 3259 OF 2008 DATE OF DECISION: March 04, 2008 Parties Name Harpreet Singh ..PETITIONER VERSUS State of Haryana and others ...RESPONDENTS CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASBIR SINGH HON'BLE MR JUSTICE JASWANT SINGH PRESENT: Mr. P.P.S. Tung, Advocate, for the petitioner. JASBIR SINGH, J. (oral) Order. Petitioner has filed this writ petition to quash order dated May 9, 2005 (P-5), vide which his prayer to give him appointment, on compassionate basis, has been rejected. It is apparent from the records that father of the petitioner died in the year 1991. Taking note of the instructions, existing at that time, mother of the petitioner filed an application in the year 1992. The same was kept pending by stating that as and when his son would attain majority, the case will be considered for grant of the requisite relief. Petitioner was only 10 years of age at that time. On attaining age of majority, application was again filed in the year 2002 for getting appointment in service, which has now been rejected vide order Annexure P-5. Heard. We are of the view that the order passed is perfectly justified. Idea of instructions , to give appointment/ financial benefits to the CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 3259 OF 2008 -2- dependents of deceased Government employee is to bring them out of immediate financial crisis, which may have occurred due to death of the bread winner of the family. Government posts are not posts of inherintence. Financial difficulty, if any, appears to be over on account of the lapse of time, i.e., about 17 years. In view of this, no case is made out for interference. Dismissed. ( Jasbir Singh ) Judge ( Jaswant Singh) March 04, 2008. Judge DKC
