(oral): Petitioner is seeking compassionate appointment after the death of bread earner of the family on 14th December, 2000. The case of the petitioner was considered, however, it was rejected primarily on the sole ground that the son of the petitioner is in Government employment though he had been working only as Beldar at that time. The purpose of offering compassionate appointment is to tide over the economic crises after the death of the bread earner. However, the fact of the matter is that petitioner’s son was only appointed as Beldar at that time. 1 Whether the reporters of Local Papers may be allowed to see the judgment? No. - 2 - 2. Consequently, the petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner afresh by taking extreme sympathetic view. The pending application(s), if any, also stands disposed of. No costs. (Rajiv Sharma), Judge. December 07, 2010. (sck).
