NO. 18215 OF 2004 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 30th day of July, 2007. J U D G M E N T Petitioner approached this Court with certain grievances regarding compassionate appointment. 2. It is seen that the claim has been turned down by Exhibit P6 by the Chief Engineer (HRM), K.S.E.B, Trivandrum. The stand taken in Exhibit P6 was that, going by the existing regulation in the case of married board employees, dependant is the wife or husband, son or daughter, and the brother is not to be considered as dependant. Fourth respondent is the husband. Claim is for appointment for the brother of the deceased daughter of the petitioner. In view of the regulation as above, in case the petitioner is still aggrieved, he may move the Kerala State Electricity Board for appropriate modification of the regulation. This writ petition is disposed of as above. KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE. smp
