1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITIONS NO.9707 OF 2010 Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court’s orders or directions and Registrar’s orders Court’s or Judge’s Orders Shri S.R.Barlinge,Adv.for petitioner. CORAM : B.R.GAVAI & A.A.SAYED,JJ DATE : 14/10/2010 1] The petitioner challenges the order dated 29/6/2010 vide which the application filed by the petitioner for appointment on compassionate ground is rejected. 2] The petitioner had sought compassionate appointment on the ground that the petitioner’s mother died in 1989 and that after attaining majority, the petitioner had applied for appointment on compassionate ground. The application is rejected on the ground that the petitioner does not fall within any of the categories as laid down in the Government Resolution dated 26/10/1984. 3] Shri Barlinge, learned counsel for 2 petitioner submits that since applicant was married but subsequently divorced, she would regain the status of an unmarried daughter and therefore, she is entitled to be included in the category for which the compassionate appointment is provided. 4] The matter regarding grant of compassionate appointment is a matter of policy within the domain of executive. For that matter, therefore, we would be only permitted to see as to what are the categories which are included for grant of compassionate appointments. The said categories which are provided in the Government Resolution are as under : The spouse, son or unmarried daughter of candidate/prematurely retired employee or a son or an unmarried daughter taken in adoption prior to the death/premature retirement of the employee concerned. 5] The said G.R. specifically states that 3 nobody else except the aforesaid persons can be entitled to be appointed on compassionate appointment. If the contention of the petitioner is to be accepted, we would be required to amend the G.R. In any case, the contention of the petitioner that a daughter who is married, on her divorce, regains the status of an unmarried daughter is atleast difficult for us to digest. 6] In that view of the matter, no case for interference is made out. Petition is rejected. In any case, it is to be noted that after the death of the mother of the petitioner, the petitioner was residing with her father who was employed. In that view of the matter, the petitioner does not appear to be entitled for compassionate appointment. [A.A.SAYEDJ.] [B.R.GAVAI,J.] umg/wp9707-10
