Krishna Kumari vs State Of Haryana & Others on 20 April, 2012
In Lalit Sharma's case (supra), a Division Bench of this
court held that dependents of government employees would be entitled
to compassionate appointment in terms of the policy applicable at the
time of death. In said case, government had floated a scheme for
financial assistance for dependents in lieu of compassionate
appointment. The Bench came to the conclusion that dependents of
government employees who had died prior to issuance of policy dated
4.3.2003 containing provision of financial assistance were entitled to
appointment on compassionate ground. However, others would be
entitled to financial assistance in terms of schemes promulgated in 2003,
2005 and 2006.
