(d) ______________________________ That the petitioner is entitled for compassionate appointment even when his brother who is in employment but living separately right since the lifetime of his deceased father and is in no way supporting the family of the deceased employee.
(e) _____ That the object of Clause 5 (c) of the instructions is to mitigate the financial difficulties of the family of the deceased employee. The same object cannot bee annulled simply because one son of the deceased employee is already in service and in no way supporting the family of deceased employee. Such condition runs contradictory to the object behind the scheme. The Clause 5 (c) is reproduced hereunder:-
"5. Eligibility:-
(c) In all cases where one or more members of the family are already in Government service or in employment of Autonomous bodies/Boards/Corporations etc; of the State/Central Government, employment assistance should not under any circumstances be provided to the second or third member of the family. In cases, however, where the widow of the deceased Government servant represents or claims that her employed sons/daughters are not supporting her, the request of employment assistance should be considered only in respect of the widow. Even for allowing compassionate appointment to the widow in such cases the opinion of the Department of Personnel and Finance Department should specifically be sought and Finance Department should specifically be sought and the matter finally decided
