CORAM: HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE JAISHREE THAKUR

Present:

Mr. Shakti Mehta, Advocate, for the applicant-petitioner.

**** JAISHREE THAKUR, J. (ORAL) CM-6900-CWP-2017 CM is allowed.

Annexure P-8 is taken on the record.

CWP No. 5095 of 2017 1.

It is contended that the petitioner is the son of a deceased government employee (Baldev Singh) who died while in service on 11.03.2011. Even though, at the time of death of his father, his mother was working as a regular employee of the Government, the petitioner would be entitled to employment on compassionate ground. In this regard reliance has been placed upon para 11 of the instructions issued by the Government dated 21.11.2002 (Annexure P-3) wherein a conscious decision is to be taken as to whether the family member would be able to sustain on the wages/pay of the earning member.

2.

Against the rejection of his claim for compassionate appointment, an appeal has already been preferred which is still pending consideration before respondent No.1.
