1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN BENCH AT JAIPUR S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.6687/2010 Rahul Tanwar vs. RSRTC & Anr. Date of order : 10/5/2010. HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MOHAMMAD RAFIQ Shri Hridayesh Singh for the petitioner. ****** This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner seeking compassionate appointment in a case where his father died on 28.1.2005 at a time when he was not in service of the respondents. His services were wholly been terminated way back on 28.4.1982. A industrial dispute was referred by the appropriate government as late as on 2.1.1993 in which an award was passed by the Labour Court on 30.11.2005 to say that termination was illegal. On that basis, the claim was made by the petitioner for compassionate appointment. The concept of giving compassionate appointment is to provide succor to his family at the time of crises when the sole bread earner has passed away and his family is living in a condition of penury when such employee has died in harness while serving the respondents. 2 In the present case, service of father of the petitioner stood terminated as far back as 28.4.1982 and on 28.1.2005, when he died, he was not actually in service of the respondents. No direction can be issued for considering such a case for compassionate appointment. The writ petition is dismissed. (MOHAMMAD RAFIQ), J. RS/
