Neha Sharma vs The State Of Madhya Pradesh on 22 April, 2022
Further, there is no explanation as to why brother of
petitioner not applied for grant of compassionate appointment
and after delay for two and half years why petitioner has applied
for grant of compassionate appointment, whereas, at the time of
death of her father, she was major and could have applied for
compassionate appointment as the main object to grant
compassionate appointment is to give immediate relief to the
family in distress especially financial distress, because if any
earning family member goes then it is catastrophic to the whole
family and therefore, to give immediate relief to an affected
family, concept of compassionate appointment is devised which
otherwise de hors the equal treatment before the law. Even
otherwise,it cannot be claimed as a matter of right. This aspect
has been taken care of by Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of
Central Coalfield Limited through its Chairman and
HIGH COURT OF MADHYA PRADESH

(Neha Sharma Vs. State of M.P.& Ors.)

in 2021 SCC Online SC 299, wherein Apex Court has
deprecated the practice of giving compassionate appointment
after a significant lapse of time and after the crisis is over.
