Umesh Kumar Nagpal vs State Of Haryana (Sawant, J.) on 4 May, 1994
5. The Apex Court in the case of Umesh Kumar Nagpal Vs. State
of Haryana, 1994 SCC (4) 138 has stated that the object of granting
compassionate appointment is to enable the family to tide over the
sudden crisis and to relieve the family of the deceased from financial
destitution and to help it to get over the emergency. The
compassionate appointment is not to be taken as a routine matter of
course. In the present case, the father of the applicant died on
22.02.2000, and thus for 17 years, the family has managed without
the benefit of compassionate appointment.
