[2025:RJ-JP:7146] HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN BENCH AT JAIPUR S.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 5132/2009 Dhara Singh Choudhary S/o Late Shri Om Prakash Choudhary, aged about 23 years, Resident of Village and Post Boraj, Via Phulera, Tehsil Dudu, District Jaipur. ----Petitioner Versus 1. Union Of India Through Director General, Central Reserve Police Force, C.G.O. Complex, Lodhi Road, New Delhi- 110003 2. Deputy Inspector General Of Police, Central Reserve Police Force, Gauhati 23 (Assam). ----Respondents For Petitioner(s) : Mr. Bharat Saini For Respondent(s) : Mr. Ashish Kumar HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SAMEER JAIN Judgment 13/02/2025 1. The instant petition is filed with the following prayers:- “(i) to quash and set aside the order dated 03/04/2008 (Anx.8), passed by the respon- dents by which the case of the petitioner for compassionate appointment has been re- jected. (ii) to direct the respondents to again con- sider the case of the petitioner for compas- sionate appointment and grant him such ap- pointment from the date he applied for the same with all consequential benefits; (iii) any other order or direction which the Hon’ble Court may deem just and proper may also kindly be passed in favour of the petitioner with costs;” 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 [2025:RJ-JP:7146] (2 of 2) [CW-5132/2009] sought, occurred on 10.06.1993. Thereafter, the instant petition 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 32 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/314
