CHANDRA MOHAN MEENA Vs. STATE OF RAJASTHAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS is a thoroughly misconceived writ petition filed by the petitioner seeking compassionate appointment on the ground that his father died while in service about 18 years back on 14. 9. 1990.

(2.) ACCORDING to the petitioner, at the time of death of his father, he was minor as at that time he was only 4 years of age and therefore, at that time, her mother made an application for giving him compassionate appointment when he becomes major and accordingly when he attained the age of 18 years, he again moved an application for giving him compassionate appointment. The department vide order dated 6. 7. 2007 (Annex. 4 in the compilation) rejected the application of the petitioner on the ground that at the relevant time, elder son of the deceased employee, namely Kana Ram Meena, was in Government service, therefore, under Rule 5, no compassionate appointment can be given to the any other member of the family of the deceased employee. The petitioner has challenged the said order of the respondent department by way of this writ petition.
