Surjeet Singh .....Petitioner versus Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. & another .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE HEMANT GUPTA HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MOHINDER PAL Present : Shri J.S.Hooda, Advocate for the petitioner. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? JUDGMENT HEMANT GUPTA, J. The petitioner is aggrieved against the order passed by the respondents on 6.3.2007 whereby the claim of the petitioner for appointment of compassionate ground has been rejected. Shri Rattan Singh, father of the petitioner, was working with the respondents. He died on 21.2.2004 while on active service. He left behind his widow Ram Devi, one married daughter and 3 married sons. Petitioner is the fourth unmarried son. His claim for appointment on compassionate ground after the death of his father has been rejected on the ground that family has got the terminal benefits of Rs.5,68,146/- and is in receipt of basic family pension of Rs.3570/- and that the condition of the family is not indigent. C.W.P.No.19433 of 2007 2 Admittedly, three sons of the deceased father of the petitioner are employed. The mother of the petitioner is getting basic family pension of Rs.3570/- per month. The said amount cannot be said to be totally insufficient for the petitioner and his mother. Consequently, we do not find any illegality or irregularity in the order passed which may warrant interference of this Court in exercise of writ jurisdiction. The writ petition is dismissed.
