[2025:RJ-JP:8039] HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN BENCH AT JAIPUR S.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 8672/2012 Smt Savitri Pachori ----Petitioner Versus State Education Department & ors ----Respondents For Petitioner(s) : Mr. Saransh Saini For Respondent(s) : Mr. B. S. Chhaba, AAG HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SAMEER JAIN Judgment 18/02/2025 1. The instant petition is filed with the following prayers:- “i) by an appropriate writ order or direction, the action on the part of the respondents in not considering can- didature of the petitioner for appointment on compas- sionate ground on the post as per her qualification, namely Teacher Gr. II and even in not considering her candidature for appointment on the post of Teacher-II may kindly be declared illegal, arbitrary unreasonable and discriminative; ii) The respondents may kindly be directed to consider candidature of the petitioner for appointment on the post of Teacher Gr.II or alternative on the post of Teacher Gr.III relaxing and not insisting upon the qual- ification of RTET with all consequential benefits; iii) Any other order or direction, which this Hon’ble Court deems expedient in the facts and circumstances of the case, may kindly be passed in favour of the pe- titioner. iv) Cost of the writ petition may kindly 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 18.11.2011. Thereafter, the instant petition [2025:RJ-JP:8039] (2 of 2) [CW-8672/2012] was filed seeking compassionate appointment in the Year 2012. The petition has come up on board for hearing after long period of time 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 14 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 /147
