G.S.R.T. Corporation vs Dineshbhai Manibhai Panchal on 2 December, 1994
13. Specific attention of this Court has been drawn to the decision of this Court in the case of Pravinchandra Jeram Sindhal v. Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation (supra) wherein the learned single Judge of this Court taking into consideration the facts of the case held that the stand taken by the respondent-Corporation in not giving appointment to the petitioner on compassionate grounds under the clever disguise of some rules is something contrary to the very basic humanistic policy/philosophy of providing employment to the needy and starving members of the family which has lost the only bread-winner. It is hardly required to be highlighted that the underlying philosophy of providing employment on compassionate grounds is just to mitigate the hardships arisen out of the sudden demise of the only bread-winner of the concerned family.
