C.W.P. No. 18651 of 2006 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No. 18651 of 2006 Date of Decision: November 27, 2006 Sapna …..Petitioner Vs. Haryana Tourism Corporation Ltd. and another …..Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M. KUMAR. HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S. BEDI. Present:- Mr. Ajit Sihag, Advocate for the petitioner. -.- M.M. KUMAR, J. (ORAL) The prayer made by the petitioner, who is grand daughter of Late Sh.Rai Singh, who had died in harness on August 6, 1999, that she be given compassionate appointment on a suitable post as her grandfather had died. It is appropriate to mention that she lost her father-Satbir Singh in the year 1989. It is conceded position that at the time of death, the age of the grand-father-Rai Singh who was working as head Sweeper was more than C.W.P. No. 18651 of 2006 [2] 55 years and the Rules do not permit appointment on compassionate ground in such a case. Even otherwise, we find that there is nothing on the record to show that the petitioner was dependent on her grand-father. It is well settled that compassionate appointments are not another source of recruitment but are permitted only to over-come the sudden financial crises created by the death of the bread earner. Rai Singh, the Head Sweeper had died in the year 1999 and the presumption is that the dependent family had been carrying on living without any difficulty. Therefore, we do not find any ground to interfere in these circumstances. Dismissed. However, with regard to financial assistance, the petitioner may make appropriate representation to the respondents which shall be considered in accordance with law.
