unveiled. Further that the Departmental Screening Committee
has neither taken into account the DOPT O.M regarding
compassionate appointment nor the penurious status of the
applicant's family inasmuch that (i) the family comprising of
an unmarried daughter whose very marriage could not be
solemnised due to financial difficulties, (ii)that there is no
house left by the father of the applicant nor any agricultural
land, (iii) that there is no earning member in the family and
mere grant of pension and retiral benefits cannot be a reason
to assert that the family is not indigent and that this view has
been held for by the Hon Apex Court also. Therefore,on
account of above reasons, the impugned order is worthy of
being set aside and directions given to the respondents to
appoint the applicant forthwith.
