S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.4965/2008 Gopal Ram Vs. R.S.R.T.C. & Ors. Date of Order :: 13.8.2008 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GOVIND MATHUR Mr. Kishore Ranga, for the petitioner. ... By this petition for writ the petitioner is claiming appointment on compassionate grounds being ward of a deceased employee of Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation. It is stated that father of the petitioner, while working as Conductor with the Corporation, died on 15.11.2000 when age of the petitioner was of 12 years, 10 months and 6 days, as such, he was not in a position to claim for appointment on compassionate grounds. He preferred an application only after becoming major and that is dismissed by the respondents being not filed within a period of 90 days from the date of death of the employee. It is not in dispute that father of the petitioner died in the year 2000 that is about eight years back from today. The appointment on compassionate grounds can not be claimed as a matter of right as it is a deviation from the principles of equality to provide some assistance to the persons facing harness due to untimely death of their bread-earner. The harness that was existing in the year 2000 must have been reduced in last 8 years, and therefore, after lapse of this period I do not consider it appropriate to deviate from rule of equality. The petition for writ, therefore, is dismissed. (GOVIND MATHUR), J. Jgoyal '
