Date of order:- July 15, 2009. HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MOHAMMAD RAFIQ Shri Vipul Jaiman for the petitioner. ***** BY THE COURT:- This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner claiming appointment on compassionate ground on the basis of the fact that his father who was serving with the respondents on the post of Conductor already removed by the respondents vide order dated 28/7/1982 and the Labour Court Alwar in its award dated 4/9/2008 held his removal as illegal with direction to the respondents to pay all retiral terminal benefits to his dependents. His father expired in 1993 SBCWP NO.7266/09. 2 and the petitioner was therefore entitled to appointment on compassionate ground. Purpose of grant of compassionate appointment is to help the family at the time of crises when its sole bread earner has passed away and the dependents are not in a position to maintain themselves. In the present case, death of the deceased employee took place in the year 1993. He was already removed in 1982. Removal was declared illegal by award of the labour court dated 4/9/2008. Sixteen years after the death of the employee, respondents cannot be now required to give compassionate appointment to the petitioner. Their decision not to provide such compassionate appointment cannot be said to be illegal or otherwise contrary to the provisions of the Rajasthan Recruitment of Dependents of Government Servants Dying While in Service Rules, 1996. Writ petition is therefore dismissed. (MOHAMMAD RAFIQ), J. anil
