The definition of 'family', as is relevant for the purpose of appointment on compassionate ground, was never included expression 'Sister'. The learned counsel for the petitioner read the definition of SCA/2755/2006 2/2 JUDGMENT 'family' from the other Statutes and the Rules. But, those definition would be irrelevant for the purposes of considering the case for compassionate appointment. In that view of the matter, since the petitioner does not come within the purview of 'family', as defined for the purposes of compassionate appointment, no favourable order to the petitioner can be made. In that view of the matter, there is no force. The petition is dismissed. Rule is discharged. No order as to cost. (BHAGWATI PRASAD, J.) omkar
