DATED DATED DATED : 20th FEBRUARY, 2006. : 20th FEBRUARY, 2006. : 20th FEBRUARY, 2006. P.C.: P.C.: P.C.: 1. Heard Shri Deshpande in support of this petition. Shri Verma appears for the Respondent. The two Petitioners are claiming employment under the Respondent-hospital on compassionate basis on the footing that the fathers of both the Petitioners were employees in this hospital. Both of them died and that the two Petitioners be, therefore, given the job. 2. A reply has been filed by one Dr.Mrs.Wankhede, Medical Superintendent of the Hospital. In paragraph 4 of this affidavit, it is stated that the mothers of both the Petitioners are working in the hospital and are getting salary as per the scales. In the circumstances, there is no question of giving any additional employment to both the Petitioners on compassionate basis. In our view the explanation is proper. There is no right to : 2 : 2 : 2 : seek employment on the basis of any such difficulty occurring in the family. On the facts of the case also it is not possible to say that either of the Petitioners have a case that they should be employed on compassionate basis. 3. Shri Deshpande states that both the Petitioners are handicapped and they would like to seek employment in that category. The prayers in this petition are on the footing of compassionate employment. This being so, the Petitioners may apply to the Respondents on that footing and their applications will be considered by the Respondents when received on their own merits and depending upon the vacancies in that particular category. Shri Deshpande seeks to withdraw the petition to make such an application. Petition is disposed of as withdrawn with the observations as above. (H.L.Gokhale, J.) (Abhay S.Oka, J.)
