SBCWP No.616/98. 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN BENCH AT JAIPUR. O R D E R S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.616/1998. Smt.Krishna Sharma Versus Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation Jaipur & Anr. Date of Order:- March 26, 2010. HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MOHAMMAD RAFIQ Shri S.R. Yadav for the petitioner. Shri Vinod Goyal on behalf of Shri Virendra Lodha for the respondent-RSRTC. **** BY THE COURT:- This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner aggrieved by the order dated 18/7/1996 by which, her request for compassionate appointment was refused by the respondents. 2) Shri S.R. Yadav, learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that removal of her husband from serviced by the respondents has been held to be illegal by award of the labour court dated 4/3/1994, case of the petitioner for compassionate appointment ought to have been considered as per policy of the government. Husband of the petitioner was removed from service on 5/4/1985 but during pendency of the proceedings before the labour court he unfortunately expired on 20/12/1991. SBCWP No.616/98. 2 3) Learned counsel submitted that his removal from service has been held to be illegal, therefore, all the consequential benefits would follow and petitioner would be entitled to consideration for compassionate appointment being widow of deceased government servant died while in service and respondents ought to have considered her case for such appointment. 4) Learned counsel for the respondents has opposed the writ petition and submitted that since late husband of the petitioner died while not serving the respondents and that he died after six years after his removal, petitioner is not entitled to compassionate appointment. 5) Having heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material on record, I find that object of compassionate appointment is to provide immediate assistance to a family. Not only late husband of the petitioner was not in actual service but also almost a decade has gone after the death of late husband of the petitioner. The delay is one of the major components in defeating writ of this nature. 6) I therefore do not find any infirmity in the impugned-order. Writ petition is accordingly dismissed.
