CORAM:HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AMIT RAWAL -.- AMIT RAWAL J. (ORAL) Grievance of the petitioner in the present case is for appointment of petitioner being dependent of deceased Ashwani Kumar, who though was working as Beldar since 1996 in the Department of Public Works Department (B&R), whose whereabouts were unknown since 16.07.2008. He was declared dead only in 2015. Accordingly wife of Ashwani Kumar submitted application (Annexure P-1) dated 17.07.2015 for payment of retiral benefits, which were sanctioned vide order dated 27.12.2016/09.01.2017 (Annexure P-4).

Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the Government has come out with notification dated 02.08.2019 extending the benefit of compassionate appointment to the wards of deceased employees. In this regard has already made a representation and sent a legal notice dated 08.08.2019 (Annexure P-6) and 02.09.2019 (Annexure P-7) respectively but no action has been taken.

Without going into the merits and demerits of the claim of the petitioner, I deem it appropriate to direct respondent No.2-Engineer-inChief, Haryana, Public Works Department (B&R), Plot No.1, Dakshin PANKAJ KUMAR 2019.10.24 10:50 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document
