[2025:RJ-JP:7684] HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN BENCH AT JAIPUR S.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 16869/2012 Sanjay Chauhan S/o Late Shri Prithvi Singh, Vpo Chobara, P.s. Shahjahapur, Tehsil Behror, District Alwar Rajasthan ----Petitioner Versus 1. Department Of Home Through Its Secretary. 2. Director General Of Police, Rajasthan 3. Superintendent Of Police, Jaipur District Rural, Jaipur. ----Respondents For Petitioner(s) : Ms. Harshita Sharma For Respondent(s) : Mr. Bhuvnesh Sharma, AAG HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SAMEER JAIN Judgment 17/02/2025 1. The instant petition is filed with the following prayers:- “It is, therefore, humbly prayed that your lordships may graciously be pleased to call for the entire record of the case and accept this writ petition by an appro- priate writ order or direction to the respondents that petitioner be appointed Constable in the Rajasthan Po- lice under the Rajasthan Compassionate Appointment of Dependants of Deceased Government Servant Rules, 1996 and other benefits be also be given to him since date of first application. Any other appropriate order or direction which the Hon’ble Court may deem just, proper and expedi- ent in the facts and circumstances of the case may kindly be passed in favour of the petitioner.” 2. Heard and considered. 3. Upon a perusal of the record, it is noted that the death of the family member, against whom compassionate appointment is sought, occurred on 19.09.2004. Thereafter, the instant petition was filed seeking compassionate appointment in the Year 2012. [2025:RJ-JP:7684] (2 of 2) [CW-16869/2012] The petition has come up on board for hearing after long period of time i.e. in the Year 2024. Ever since the filing of the instant petition, no active steps were taken by the petitioner for the early listing of the matter. 4. As on date, over 21 years have lapsed since the demise of the earning family member, against whom compassionate employment is sought. If compassionate appointment is made now, the same shall be against the object and purpose for which the appointment on compassionate grounds is provided. The whole object of granting compassionate employment is to enable the family to tide over the sudden crisis caused by the instant death of the earning family member. The object is not to give such family a post, much less a post held by the deceased family member. In this regard, reliance can be placed upon the dictum of the Hon’ble Apex Court as enunciated in Fertilizers and Chemicals Travancore Ltd. and Ors. vs. Anusree K.B. reported in AIR 2022 SC 4766. 5. As a result, in light of the foregoing observations, the instant petition is dismissed. Pending applications, if any, stand disposed of. (SAMEER JAIN),J Pooja /59
