This appeal is before us to examine correctness of the order

dated 02.02.2015 passed by learned Single Bench in S.B. Civil

Writ Petition No. 1068/2015.

2.

By the judgment impugned learned Single Bench while

dismissing the petition for writ, arrived at the conclusion that the

petitioner is not entitled to have appointment on compassionate

grounds, as her husband died way back in the year 1996.

3.

We have examined merits of the case, as advanced. It is not

in dispute that the husband of the petitioner died while in service

in the year 1996. She claimed for appointment on compassionate

grounds by way of filing a petition for writ in the year 2015. It is

well settled that the mode of appointment on compassionate

grounds is a deviation from the concept of equality just to satisfy

the harness suffered by a person loosing sole bread earned of the

family. Such a harness cannot remain in currency for an indefinite

period. No such appointment is permissible after a lapse of about

2 decades. In light of whatever stated above, we do not find any

wrong with the order passed by learned Single Bench.

4.

The appeal is dismissed.
