Respondents. ----------- For the Petitioner : Mr. Kumar Sunil, Advocate For the Respondent : Mr. Rakesh Kumar Singh, Central Govt. Counsel P R E S E N T THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SHIVA KIRTI SINGH THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE BIRENDRA PRASAD VERMA Shiva Kirti Singh & B.P. Verma, JJ Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned counsel for the Union of India and perused the impugned order dated 25th of April 2008 whereby the Central Administrative Tribunal, Patna Bench, Patna has dismissed O.A. No. 75 of 2007. The said O.A. was preferred by the petitioner who claimed compassionate appointment on account of death of his father who died in service on 1.10.2002. Mother of the petitioner had predeceased his father. From the submission advanced before us it is clear that there is no factual error in the order of the Tribunal that petitioner is a young man of 32 years having two grown up brothers. He has no unmarried sister or widowed mother to look-after and he is in receipt of family pension of Rs. - 2 - Patna High Court The 6th July 2010 Rahman/NAFR. 3625/ per month and has also received retiral benefits of more than Rs. 4, 00,000/-. He is also having one bigha of land. On account of limited post available for compassionate appointment, the authorities had to evaluate as to each of the candidates deserved relief by way of compassionate appointment and they appear to have selected candidates who are female and are widows with minor children. The justification in respect of a male candidate has been adequately furnished and rightly acceptable by the learned Tribunal. His father has died while saving the treasury while it was being looted by the dacoits. It is also clear that the petitioner has survived the unfortunate death of his father which took place about eight years earlier. In the facts of the case we find no good reason to interfere with the order of the Tribunal. We find the writ petition without merit and it is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. (Shiva Kirti Singh, J) ( Birendra Prasad Verma, J. )
