[2025:RJ-JP:7131] HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN BENCH AT JAIPUR S.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 3036/2009 Rahul Joshi Son Of Late Shri Brij Raj Joshi, aged about 19 years, resident of Plot No. 66, Shastri Nagar, Bijay Nagar, District Ajmer Rajasthan. ----Petitioner Versus 1. The State Of Rajasthan Through Secretary, Local Self Government, Rajasthan, Jaipur. 2. The Director, Local Bodies, Rajasthan, Jaipur. 3. The Municipal Board, Bijay Nagar, District Ajmer, Rajasthan. ----Respondents For Petitioner(s) : None For Respondent(s) : Mr. Tanveer Ahamad HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SAMEER JAIN Judgment 13/02/2025 1. The instant petition is filed with the following prayers:- “1. By an appropriate order or direction the impugned orders Annexure-11 dated 28.06.2006 and Annexure-12 dated 13.07.2006 may kindly be quashed and set aside. 2. By an appropriate order or direction the respondents may kindly be directed to ap- point the petitioner on compassionate grounds on the post of LDC. 3. Cost of the writ petition may kindly be awarded.” 2. None present on behalf of the petitioner. 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 01.10.1995. Thereafter, the instant petition [2025:RJ-JP:7131] (2 of 2) [CW-3036/2009] was filed seeking compassionate appointment in the Year 2009. On directions of the Court, the matter has come up on board for hearing today i.e. in the year 2025. 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 30 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 Anil Sharma/302
