wp2175.11 1 FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO.2175 OF 2011 ________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office | Memoranda of Coram, | Court's or Judge's orders appearances, Court's | orders or directions | and Registrar's orders | ________________________________________________________ Mrs.Gunjal B.B., Adv. for petitioner. Mr.Alok Sharma, A.S.G. for Respondents. CORAM: P.B. MAJMUDAR & S.S. SHINDE, JJ. 3rd May, 2011. By way of this petition, the petitioner is seeking for compassionate appointment in AIR India. As back as in April, 2007 i.e. about four years back from today the matter was referred to the concerned Officer and it was found that the petitioner's husband was no more in service of AIR India w.e.f. 2000. After wp2175.11 2 this communication, the petition has been filed after more than four years. The compassionate appointment is to be made only for giving immediate solace to the dependent family members so that they may not suffer financial crisis. The husband of the petitioner was not in service since 2000. The petitioner survived financially for about eleven years. 2 This is not a case in which this Court would like to exercise its extraordinary jurisdiction asking respondent to give compassionate appointment to the petitioner especially, when the petitioner has not filed the petition after first communication of the order, which was given to the petitioner in wp2175.11 3 April, 2007. The learned Counsel for the petitioner submitted that the husband of the petitioner was missing since 2003. However, from reading the order, it is clear that the husband of the petitioner was not in service since 2000 and apart from that, after communication of the order to the petitioner, the petitioner has not taken any steps immediately. In the cases like the present one, this Court cannot compel the respondents to give compassionate appointment to the petitioner when no case is made out. Hence, the petition is rejected. (S.S.
