TO JUDGE. vkm KURIAN JOSEPH, J. ---------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 16512 of 2004 ---------------------------------------------- Dated 18th December, 2008. J U D G M E N T Petitioner is aggrieved since he is not offered employment in the respondent Bank under the compassionate employment scheme. Petitioner's father died on 9.2.2001. It is seen from Ext.P1 and the counter affidavit that the petitioner's family was not under penurious circumstances at the time of his death. The financial position of the family as on the date of death of the employee being the relevant factor, and since at that point of time, the financial position of the petitioner's family was sound, it cannot be said that the petitioner is entitled to appointment under the compassionate appointment scheme. There is no merit in the writ petition. It is hence dismissed.
