IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH COCP No.1528 of 2009(O&M) Date of decision: 25.8.2009 Lajawati ......Petitioner(s) Versus Sh. Rajiv Dalal, IPS, DGP, Haryana and another ......Respondent(s) CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR GARG * * * Present: Mr. S.N. Yadav, Advocate for the petitioner. Rakesh Kumar Garg, J.(Oral) CM No.19956-CII of 2009 Application is allowed subject to all just exceptions. COCP No.1528 of 2009 As per the averments made by the petitioner, her husband died on 3.8.2002 while serving with Haryana Police. Since her case for compassionate appointment/grant of financial assistance as per the Govt. Instructions was rejected, she filed CWP No.12068 of 2006 challenging the aforesaid order (attached as Annexure P-15 with the writ petition). It is the further case of the petitioner that the aforesaid writ petition was allowed vide judgment dated 2.4.2009 passed by this Court, as under: “Consequently, this writ petition is allowed and the relief now sought by the learned counsel for the petitioner is granted. The respondents are directed to accept option of the petitioner for assistance as per 2006 policy. The necessary benefits be released to the petitioner within two months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order.” COCP No.1528 of 2009 -2- Further case of the petitioner is that in pursuance of the aforesaid judgment, she represented to the respondents vide Annexure P- 2 seeking financial assistance of Rs.5,00,000/-, however, the respondents have failed to comply with the aforesaid judgment. Hence, this contempt petition. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner. It is not in dispute that the case of the petitioner could be considered under the instructions of the Haryana Govt. which were applicable as on 3.8.2002 i.e the date on which her husband died. Again it is not disputed that as per the then existing policy of the Haryana Govt., the case of the petitioner could be considered either for compassionate appointment or grant of financial assistance to the tune of Rs.2,50,000/- and the aforesaid instructions of the Govt. were amended vide a new policy made applicable in the year 2006 according to which limit of financial assistance to be granted in such cases was raised from Rs.2,50,000/- to Rs.5,00,000/-. The aforesaid policy was applicable only in those cases which were pending when the aforesaid policy came into being. Admittedly, the case of the petitioner for compassionate appointment/financial assistance stood rejected vide Annexure P-15 i.e much prior to the coming into operation of the policy of 2006 and the petitioner was not entitled to any relief. Thus, in view thereof, I find no merit in this petition. Dismissed. August 25, 2009 (RAKESH KUMAR GARG) ps JUDGE
