AJAY PAL SINGH Vs. STATE OF U P

JUDGEMENT

(1.) -Heard Sri B. D. Mishra holding brief of Sri D. V. Jaiswal, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned standing counsel for the respondents. The petitioners have challenged the orders dated 31st July, 2002, 3rd September, 2002 and 10th October, 2002, whereby the application for compassionate appointment on the post of Bandi Rakshak has been rejected by the D.I.G (Present Headquarter) U. P., since the said claim was made by the petitioner after more than 16 years of the death of the deceased.

(2.) THE brief factual matrix of the case is that Sri Brij Pal Singh, Bandi Rakshak died on 16th April, 1984. Since the petitioner No. 1 was admittedly minor on the said date, therefore, it appears that no application was filed by any legal heir of late Brij Pal Singh claiming appointment under U. P. Government Servant (Dying-in-Harness) Rules, 1974.

(3.) HEARD learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. The provisions pertaining to compassionate appointment under Dying-in-Harness Rules have been made to provide immediate financial assistance to the family of deceased Government servant who has left the entire family in sudden financial crisis on account of sudden death.
