IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. L.P.A. No.31 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision:21.1.2010 State of Haryana and others -----Appellants Vs. Vinod -----Respondent CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ADARSH KUMAR GOEL HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ALOK SINGH Present:- Ms. Ritu Bahri, Sr.DAG,Haryana for the appellants. --- Adarsh Kumar Goel,J. 1. This appeal has been preferred against order of learned Single Judge directing grant of benefit of ex-gratia scheme adopted by the State. 2. Jaibir Singh, father of the respondent was employed with the State of Haryana and died on 3.8.1991 in harness. His widow applied for ex-gratia appointment and a post was directed to be reserved for the respondent who was minor at that time. However, later, claim for compassionate appointment was rejected. The respondent then applied for lump sum assistance as per policy of the LPA No.31 of 2010 (O&M) State which was rejected as barred by time, which led to filing of the writ petition. Learned Single Judge relying upon earlier DB judgment of this Court in Raj Rani v. State of Haryana, 2009(1) SCT 104, upheld the claim of the respondent. 3. We have heard learned counsel for the appellants and perused the record. 4. The matter being covered by earlier judgment of this Court in Raj Rani (supra), which has been followed by learned Single Judge, no interference is called for with the view taken by the learned Single Judge. 5. The appeal is dismissed. (Adarsh Kumar Goel) Judge January 21, 2010 (Alok Singh) ‘gs’ Judge 2
