[2025:RJ-JP:10611] HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN BENCH AT JAIPUR S.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 10827/2011 Kuldeep Singh ----Petitioner Versus R S R T C And Anr ----Respondent For Petitioner(s) : Mr. Kailash Choudhary For Respondent(s) : Mr. Surendar Meel HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SAMEER JAIN Judgment 06/03/2025 1. The instant petition is filed with the following prayers:- “i) By an appropriate writ, order and direction in the nature thereof the order dated 22.02.2011 may kindly be quashed and set aside and the respondents may be directed to give compassionate appointment to the pe- titioner on the post of Conductor with all consequential benefits from the date of filing of the application. ii) Any other relief as this Hon'ble Court may deem fit and proper be also passed 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 04.02.2009. Thereafter, the instant petition was filed seeking compassionate appointment in the Year 2011. The petition has come up on board for hearing for the first time 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. [2025:RJ-JP:10611] (2 of 2) [CW-10827/2011] 4. As on date, over 16 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. 6. Learned counsel for the petitioner is at liberty to file representation before the competent authority, if any grievance still prevails. (SAMEER JAIN),J Pooja /137
