It was also held that an applicant has no right to claim a compassionate appointment in a particular class or group and it is not for conferring status on the family.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Brief Facts<\/span>: The appellants were appointed on compassionate basis as Technician-III in the Power Development Department, Jammu. Thereafter, in the year 2015, they filed a writ petition claiming that they should have been appointed against the post of Junior Engineers at par with private respondents who were similarly appointed on compassionate basis. The writ was dismissed due to lack of merit and thus arose the instant appeal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Observations and Decision<\/span>: Perusing the facts of the dispute, the Court delved into the intent behind compassionate appointments. It was observed that compassionate appointments are not a vested right or an alternate mode of employment and it has to be considered and granted under the relevant rules A candidate for a compassionate appointment has no right to any particular post of choice. He can only claim to be considered. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">The object of compassionate appointment is to enable the family of the deceased employee to tide over the sudden financial crisis due to the death of bread earner which has left the family without any means of livelihood. <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">It is meant to provide minimum relief for meeting immediate hardship to save the bereaved family from sudden financial crises due to the death of sole bread earner.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court referred to the cases of <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><i>Union of India<\/i> v. <i>Shashank Goswami<\/i><\/span>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/sgmgz8uQ\">(2012) 11 SCC 307,<\/a> and <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><i>Treasuries in Karnataka<\/i> v. <i>V.
