Under the Government resolution, son-in-law has no right to get compassionate appointment. Therefore, claim of the petitioner for his compassionate appointment has no merits. However, petitioner has claimed that he had earlier worked as Evaji Chowkidar, in support of which he has produced some documents. He has also claimed that respondent no.8, by falsely claiming himself to be related to the deceased Chowkidar, got himself appointed on compassionate ground. - 2 - Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that if the authorities hold an enquiry, they will find that respondent no.8 is not at all related to the deceased Chowkidar and in that situation petitioner may get the appointment on the basis of having worked as Evaji Chowkidar if not on compassionate ground. Petitioner will be at liberty to file an application before the competent authority requesting him to hold such an enquiry. If such an application is filed, it is expected that the concerned competent authority shall look into the matter and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law as he may deem fit and proper, preferably within a period of three months from the date of filing of such an application. This writ application is disposed of with the aforesaid observations and directions. Pradeep/ ( J. N. Singh, J.)
