For the State : Mr.R.C.P. Bharti, SC-14 and Mr.Md.Aslam Ansari, Adv. ----------- 3 23.07.2010 It appears that pursuant to an order of this Court the cases of the husband of the petitioner and others were considered for regularization and by speaking order, as contained in Annexure-6, the same was rejected. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that subsequently cases of the concerned incumbents were considered again and most of the persons, whose cases were rejected earlier by Annexure-6, were 2 regularized. However, by that time husband of the petitioner had died. Therefore, the petitioner filed an application for his compassionate appointment in place of her husband. The fact is that the services of the husband of petitioner had never been regularized. It is unfortunate that he died in the meanwhile. It may be that his family went through acute financial crisis and hardship, but that does not make the petitioner entitle in law for his compassionate appointment. The husband of the petitioner died in the capacity of a daily rated employee. Therefore, no right accrues to the petitioner under the Government Rules and Regulations for her compassionate appointment. The writ application is dismissed. Arvind/ ( J. N. Singh, J.)
