1. S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.4059/2010 Jagdish Meena Vs. Union of India & Ors. Date of Order :: 06.12.2010 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GOVIND MATHUR Mr. Sambhoo Singh, for the petitioner. ... Being a ward of Shri Thawar Chand, who died on 29.4.2001 while in employment of Central Industrial Security Force, the petitioner is claiming appointment on compassionate ground. The claim so made has been detained by the respondents with the assertion that “Your educational qualification is class 8th pass. If you passes class Xth, your case can be considered for the post of Constable (Tradesmen) subject to fulfilling other eligibility criteria and physical standard as per modified Recruitment Rules (being modified).” The submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that the petitioner is claiming appointment prior to the modification with the eligibility criteria and, therefore, appointment is required to be accorded to him as per pre-modification eligibility. I do not find any merit in the argument advanced. 2. The eligibility of an incumbent is required to be examined on the date appointment is to be given. Admittedly, the petitioner is lacking eligibility, therefore, the respondents have rightly detained his appointment in the terms aforesaid. In view of it, the petition for writ is having no merit, the same is dismissed. (GOVIND MATHUR), J. Sanjay/- 3.
