MANORAMA SINHA Vs. UNION OF INDIA & ORS

JUDGEMENT

(1.) The present case, though on facts may be argued to be a sympathetic case, however, there has to be some end to litigation at some stage. Litigants do not have right to keep on approaching the Court repeatedly on the same issue, especially when an earlier litigation had reached the Supreme Court and was unsuccessful.

(2.) The petitioner in the present case seeks compassionate appointment. Compassionate appointment can only be as per an extant policy of the Union or the State or an instrumentality of the Union/State. As per the policy, the petitioner cannot get appointment because the petitioner is the second wife of the deceased employee, Sh.Kameshwar who died in harness.

(3.) Earlier, as the impugned order dated 24.9.2012 of the respondent/authority shows, the petitioner had filed OA No.96/1997 before the Central Administration Tribunal, Patna which was dismissed being devoid of merits and thereafter an SLP bearing no. 9867/1997 in Supreme Court was also dismissed. The petitioner thereafter filed a writ petition in this Court being WP(C) No.10401/2009 wherein appointment was sought for the son of the petitioner and which was dismissed with liberty on 4.8.2009 to approach the department. Another writ petition came to be filed being WP(C) No.8574/2011 and which was disposed of on 8.2.2012 directing the respondent No.1 to dispose of the representations dated 25.5.2010 and 26.8.2010.
