Govt. Of Nct Of Delhi & Ors vs Late Shri Ashok Kumar Singh on 12 October, 2022
29. The reliance of the petitioner upon the judgment rendered by
the Kerala High Court in V. Kesavan Nair (supra) is misplaced for the
reason that in that case the learned Division Bench came to the
conclusion that the government employee cannot, as a matter of right,
claim Compassionate Allowance or that it should be so much or it
should be paid w.e.f., the date of dismissal. There is no quarrel with
the proposition that the government employee may not claim it as a
matter of right, however, keeping in view the fact that we have
considered the same as akin to pension, it may be possible to grant the
Compassionate Allowance from the date of dismissal/ removal of the
government employee as per the facts obtaining in a particular case.
