Smt. Sudesh Sharma vs State Of Haryana & Others on 3 February, 2009<\/div>\n

JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI\n\nPresent :   Mr. Gaurav Sethi, Advocate\n            for the petitioner.\n\n            Mr. Harish Rathee, Sr. DAG, Haryana.\n\n                      ***\n<\/pre>\n
1. Whether Reporters of Local Newspapers may be allowed to see
\nthe judgment?\n<\/p>\n
2. To be referred to the Reporters or not?\n<\/p>\n
3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest?<\/p>\n
AJAY TEWARI, J.(Oral)<\/p>\n
            The husband of the petitioner who was working as<\/p>\n
Assistant Line Man with the respondents died in service on<\/p>\n
19.08.2003. At that time, Haryana Compassionate Assistance to<\/p>\n
the Dependents of Deceased Government Employees Rules, 2003<\/p>\n
were in force.    As per those rules, the petitioner’s son was<\/p>\n
entitled to compassionate appointment. Admittedly, the name of<\/p>\n
the petitioner’s son was put in the seniority list made for<\/p>\n
providing    compassionate     appointment.    However,       before<\/p>\n
compassionate appointment could actually be granted, the Rules<\/p>\n
of 2003 were replaced by the Haryana Compassionate Assistance<\/p>\n
to the Dependents of the Deceased Government Employees Rules<\/p>\n
2006 under which the provision of compassionate appointment<\/p>\n
has been replaced with the scheme of providing monthly financial
\n CWP No.1176 of 2009                                               -2-<\/span><\/p>\n
assistance\/ one time grant.     It   may be noticed that during this<\/p>\n
interregnum the Compassionate Assistance Rules of 2005 also held<\/p>\n
the field for about one year.\n<\/p>\n
           It is the contention of the learned counsel for the<\/p>\n
petitioner that the petitioner’s son is entitled for compassionate<\/p>\n
appointment since at the time when her husband died, the Rules<\/p>\n
of 2003 were in force.      Alternatively learned counsel for the<\/p>\n
petitioner has argued that if compassionate appointment cannot<\/p>\n
be granted then at least her case should be dealt with under<\/p>\n
Rules of 2006 i.e. at the time when the case was considered, but<\/p>\n
that she could not be forced to take the option of taking one time<\/p>\n
compensation under the 2003 or 2005 Rules.\n<\/p>\n
           With regard to the first contention of the learned<\/p>\n
counsel for the petitioner, I put to her that there are Division<\/p>\n
Bench judgment of this Court which would need to be harmonized<\/p>\n
in order to give relief to the petitioner and that this process may<\/p>\n
end up in delaying the case for ex-gratia relief.<\/p>\n
           In Lalita Sharma versus State of Haryana &<\/p>\n
others   bearing      CWP     No.6890       of    2007     decided      on<\/p>\n
11.07.2007, a Division Bench of this Court held as under:<\/p>\n
                “After hearing both the sides, the following
\n           controversy is required to be resolved for the decision
\n           of present Civil Writ Petition:\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
           i) Whether the case of the petitioner i.e. Dependents
\n           of the deceased Government employees for grant of
\n           financial assistance under the schemes of 2003, 2005
\n           &   2006   is   made      out   on    account   of   death   of
\n           Government employee?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
 CWP No.1176 of 2009                                     -3-<\/span><\/p>\n
                      So far as the relief of financial assistance in
\n         respect of dependent of Government employee who
\n         died prior to 04.03.2003 is concerned, there was no
\n         provision in any of the instructions\/ policy issued by
\n         the government for grant of financial assistance. So,
\n         the   Government       employee     who    died   prior   to
\n         04.03.2003, his\/her dependents are not entitled to
\n         compassionate assistance.       However, the dependents
\n         of Government employees whose bread earner died
\n         after 04.03.2003, are entitled to financial assistance
\n         under the schemes of 2003, 2005 & 2006 whichever is
\n         applicable to the dependents provided they fulfil the
\n         conditions laid down under the said schemes. There is
\n         no reason for with-holding the relief of financial
\n         assistance to the dependents of government employee
\n         who died after 28.02.2003 in case their case is
\n         covered under any of the schemes referred to above.
\n         So, we have no hesitation in holding that in case the
\n         government employee has died after 04.03.2003, in
\n         that case, the petitioners are entitled to financial
\n         assistance, according to the scheme applicable to
\n         them, as discussed above.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
                      Therefore, in the light of what has been
\n         held above, the claim of the petitioners for grant of
\n         compassionate appointment in all the above-said writ
\n         petition stand declined. However, the respondents are
\n         directed to make the payment of financial assistance
\n         to the dependents in accordance with the schemes
\n         applicable to them. These directions are available only
\n         to the petitioners who fall within the ambit of definition
\n         of dependents under the relevant schemes and are
\n         otherwise found eligible according to the above noted
\n         scheme.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
         In Sheela Devi versus State of Haryana & others
\n CWP No.1176 of 2009                                     -4-<\/span><\/p>\n
bearing CWP No.8844 of 2007 decided on 22.08.2008,<\/p>\n
another Division Bench of this Court held as follows:<\/p>\n
                “We are unable to appreciate and accept the
\n           stand taken by the respondents, whereas we find
\n           substance in the averments made by the petitioner(s).
\n           As noticed above the husband of the petitioner expired
\n           on 11.10.2005 and the application for compassionate
\n           appointment was moved on 24.10.2005. The said
\n           application was to be considered under the then
\n           prevalent Rules\/Policy\/Scheme. Admittedly, the same
\n           has not been done in the present case and as such the
\n           petitioner has been deprived of the benefit of being
\n           considered under the applicable Rules\/Policy\/Scheme.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
                      In these circumstances, we dispose of these
\n           writ petitions and direct the respondents to consider
\n           the claim of the petitioner(s) afresh in the light of
\n           Instructions\/Rules applicable at the time of death of
\n           the government employee.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
           In this view of the matter, counsel for the petitioner<\/p>\n
has stated that he would press his alternative argument.<\/p>\n
           In my opinion, this is a justifiable request. It would be<\/p>\n
only fair if the respondents are held down to the provisions of<\/p>\n
2006 policy under which an option is to be granted to the family<\/p>\n
to either accept one time relief or opt for monthly assistance.<\/p>\n
           In the circumstances, this writ petition is disposed off<\/p>\n
with a direction to the respondents to grant option to the<\/p>\n
petitioner to decide whether she wants lump sum assistance or<\/p>\n
monthly assistance and, after the said option has been exercised<\/p>\n
to release to the family the assistance opted. Needful be done<\/p>\n
within a period of 3 months from the date of receipt of certified
\n CWP No.1176 of 2009               -5-<\/span><\/p>\n
copy of this order.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
