IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.15003 of 2006 Date of Decision: 20.3.2008 Sanjay Kumar Petitioner Versus State of Haryana and others Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASBIR SINGH HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K.C.PURI Present: Shri J.S.Yadav, Advocate for the petitioner Shri Harish Rathee, Sr. D.A.G. Haryana for the respondents Jasbir Singh, J. (Oral) This writ petition has been filed with a prayer that the petitioner be taken in employment on compassionate basis. It is apparent from the records that father of the petitioner died in harness on 14.12.1992. The petitioner was minor at that time. It appears that his mother moved an application with a prayer that one post be kept reserved for the petitioner. That application was entertained. The petitioner, subsequently, moved an application in the year 1998, to get service. His application was dismissed vide order dated 18.9.1998 (P/7). He kept mum. In between he also filed a Civil Suit, which was got dismissed as withdrawn. Thereafter, this writ petition has been filed in the year 2006. In view of conduct of the petitioner, we feel that he is not entitled to get any benefit by invoking the provisions of Articles 226/227 of the Constitution. It is an admitted fact that after death of his father, the family received all retiral benefits, including the family pension. Idea behind policy to grant ex-gratia benefits including employment to the dependents of the deceased government employees, is to bring the family Civil Writ Petition No.15003 of 2006 out of immediate financial crises. That appears to be over as father of the petitioner died in the year 1992. No case is made out for interference. Dismissed. (Jasbir Singh) Judge March 20, 2008 (K.C. Puri) gk Judge 2
