Sister cannot apply for compassionate appointment on death of her brother, rules Karnataka HC

Op India  

The Karnataka High Court ruled on Thursday, September 14, that a sister cannot be hired on compassionate grounds after her married brother died while working as a Junior Line Man for Bangalore Electricity Supply Company. As per the said rule, the definition of “family” includes “ in the case of the deceased male married Government Servant, his widow, son and daughter who were dependent upon him and living with him.” According to the court, it has long been established that only a member of the deceased employee’s family can submit a claim for appointment on compassionate grounds, that too only by showing evidence of dependency on the employee who died. If so construed, the appellant who is admittedly a sister of the deceased employee is not entitled to any compassionate appointment,” the counsel said. “The above apart, absolutely no material is placed on record by the appellant to show that she was dependent on the income of her brother at the time of his death in harness nor there is any material to assume that the family of the deceased is in financial distress as would justify the claim for appointment on compassionate grounds,” the Court said.
