The brief fact reflected from the writ petition is that the petitioner’s father was working as Compounder died in harness on 19.11.2024. After death of his father the petitioner submitted application for grant of compassionate appointment the same has been rejected by the impugned order relying upon the policy of the Government according to which if any family member of the deceased is in Government service, the dependent of the deceased Government servant is not entitled to get compassionate appointment. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that petitioner's brother who is Government Servant is living separately for the last 15 years and petitioner is maintaining his mother, therefore, would pray for allowing the petition. 4. This issue is no more res integra as this issue has already been decided by the Hon'ble Division Bench of this Court in Writ Appeal No. 334/2021 decided on 10.12.2021 wherein the Hon'ble Division Bench has held as under:- “16. It is no longer res integra that compassionate appointment cannot be claimed as a matter of right, as it is not a vested right. Compassionate appointment can be claimed only on the basis of scheme applicable for such appointment. When the scheme itself provides that no appointment shall be granted on compassionate ground, if any of the family members is in government service, no appointment can be claimed on the ground that the family member in government service is not giving any financial assistance. No obligation is cast upon the government under the scheme to find out as to whether such employee is providing any financial assistance to the other members of the family.” 5. In the light of the above decision of the Hon'ble Division Bench of this Court, the petitioner is not entitled for grant of any relief. 6. Accordingly, the writ petition stands dismissed.
