Umesh Kumar Nagpal vs State Of Haryana (Sawant, J.) on 4 May, 1994

In the matter of "Umesh Kumar Nagpal Vs. State of Haryana", [1994(4) SCC 138], Hon'ble Supreme Court has observed that "The whole object of granting compassionate employment is thus to enable the family to tide over the sudden (Downloaded on 01/09/2019 at 10:12:57 PM) (4 of 7) [CW-2445/2019] crisis. The object is not to give a member of such family a post much less a post for post held by the deceased. What is further, mere death of an employee in harness does not entitle his family to such source of livelihood. The Government or the public authority concerned has to examine the financial condition of the family of the deceased, and it is only if it is satisfied that but for the provision of employment, the family will not be able to meet the crisis that a job is to be offered to the eligible member of the family." The Hon'ble Court has further observed that "the compassionate employment cannot be granted after a lapse of a reasonable period which must be specified in the rules. The consideration for such employment is not a vested right which can be exercised at any time in future. The object being to enable the family to get over the financial crisis which it faces at the time of the death of the sole breadwinner, the compassionate employment cannot be claimed and offered whatever the lapse of time and after the crisis is over."
