Delay in compassionate appointment by government causing more grief to the family is unjustifiable: Bombay High Court
By - Pavni Dada* A 30-year-old widow lady whose husband worked as a peon at the Sant Dyaneshwar Vidyalaya in Parbhani initiated the plea. Her husband died in an accident on June 8, 2017, after working for 19 years in the company. On a compassionate basis, she was appointed as a peon in her husband's company. The approval for the act was awaited, but it was later denied vide order dated 14.03.1018, stating that the problem of sanctioning the staffing pattern for the non-teaching role is still under consideration by the government and the petitioner's appointment on compassionate grounds cannot be taken into account. It is also said in the affidavit that unless the Government sanctioned the staffing pattern of non-teaching employees and there is no policy decision on the same, a fresh appointment on a non-teaching post cannot be approved.
