The premise to reject the claim was that as per Rule 3(d)(iii) of Haryana Compassionate Assistance to the Dependants of Deceased Govt. Employees Rules 2003, which defines "deceased Government employee" as one who should not have crossed the age of 55 years, whereas the father of the petitioner died at the age of 59 years and therefore the benefit cannot be granted to him, however, he, in terms of the Haryana Compassionate Assistance to Dependent of deceased Govt.
