IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CIVIL WRIT JURISDICTION CASE No.9737 of 2008 MANI DEVI, W/O ASHOK KUMAR BHARATI, R/O TIWARY JAITPUR, P.O. BHARWALIA, P.S. DAUDPUR, DISTRICT SARAN AT CHAPRA. .............Petitioner. Versus THE UNION OF INDIA THROUGH THE DIRECTOR GENERAL, BORDER SECURITY FORCE (B.S.F), CGO COMPLEX, LODHI ROAD, NEW DELHI-3. 2.THE COMMANDANT, 151 BN. B.S.F. MUNDRA ROAD, BHUJ, GUJRAT. 3.THE COMMANDANT (R & R), DG, B.S.F., ADMN.DIRECTORATE, LODHI ROAD, NEW DELHI-110008. 4.THE SECTION OFFICER, PERSONNEL DIRECTORATE, DG, B.S.F, LODHI ROAD, NEW DELHI. ..............Respondent. ------------- 02 27-04-2011 Heard counsel for the parties. Taking into account that the husband of the petitioner had himself voluntarily opted out of the service from Border Security Force, the claim for appointment of the petitioner on compassionate ground would be wholly misconceived, inasmuch as, there is no policy of the Government of India and/or of the Border Security Force envisaging appointment of the dependent of a person who would himself opt out of service by way of seeking voluntary retirement. A wife of such an employee in fact cannot claim for appointment on compassionate ground. That being so, this application is wholly misconceived and is accordingly dismissed.
