Petitioner Versus State of Haryana and others. ..............Respondents. CORAM:HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE JASBIR SINGH HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE JASWANT SINGH Present:- Sh.Rakesh Nagpal, Advocate for the petitioner. Sh.Mahabir Singh Sindhu,DAG Haryana for respondents. ***** JASBIR SINGH, J.(ORAL) Father of the petitioner died on 27.3.1994. Petitioner was minor at that time. However, showing compassion, on receipt of application of the petitioner, he was offered the post of Water Carrier on 11.4.2002. As per information supplied by Superintendent of Police, Sonepat, petitioner refused to join the service on the ground that he be appointed against the post of a Clerk. Record reveals that by raising above said contention, the petitioner came before this Court by filing CWP No. 1219/2002 which was disposed of on 18.1.2002, directing the respondents to decide his claim. In response to the order, referred to above, order Annexure P-1 was passed wherein it is specifically stated that post of Water Carrier was earlier offered to the petitioner and further that the petitioner was not eligible for the post of Clerk as he has the qualification of Matriculation only, that too with third division to his credit. For the post of Constable his height was not upto the mark. In the reply filed by the respondents it has been stated that as the CWP No.7065/2007 2 petitioner was not fulfilling the qualification to give employment as a Clerk his case was rejected. We are satisfied with the reply . Otherwise also policy to give appointment on compassionate basis, to the dependents of the deceased government employees is based on compassion. Government posts are not posts of inheritance. Petitioner was minor at the time when his father died. By giving him post of Water Carrier, the Government has shown sufficient compassion. No case for interference is made out. Dismissed. (Jasbir Singh) Judge 11.2.2008 (Jaswant Singh) joshi Judge
