The Ajmer Vidhyut Vitran Nigam Limited, Through Its Chairman Cum Managing Director, Ajmer Rajasthan 2. The Executive Engineer, Ajmer Vidhyut Vitran Nigam Limited, Sikar Division, Sikar Rajasthan 3. The Assistant Engineer Oandm, Ajmer Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited, Piprali Road, Sikar Rajasthan ----Respondents For Petitioner(s) : Mr. Sunil Kumar Singodiya For Respondent(s) : Mr. Shailesh Prakash Sharma HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SAMEER JAIN Judgment 13/02/2025 1. The instant petition is filed with the following prayers:- “i) The respondents may kindly be directed to give appointment on the suitable post on the compassionate ground in place of his father late Shri Jaggu Ram, who was working on the post of CCA-III in the respondent department with all consequential benefits, ii) Any other order which this Hon’ble Court deems fit in the facts and circumstances of the case may also be passed in favour of the peti- tioner, iii) Cost of writ petition may also be awarded 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 01.03.2000. 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 [2025:RJ-JP:7575] (2 of 2) [CW-9006/2009] 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 25 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/333
