SANJEEV KAUSHIK, MEMBER (J):

  1. Applicant, in this O.A., has assailed the order dated 01.11.2019 (Annexure A-1) and another dated 05.03.2019 (Annexure A-1/A) whereby the provisional appointment, on compassionate grounds, of the applicant to the post of Havildar, has been cancelled.

2- O.A.No.060/00063/2020

  1. Learned counsel submitted that the case of the applicant for appointment on compassionate grounds was considered and was recommended for provisional appointment to the post of Havildar, as is apparent from letter dated 13.07.2018 (Annexure A-3). However, the applicant could not meet the standards of prescribed physical test as his chest was short by 2 cms, and therefore, his candidature for provisional appointment was cancelled. Learned counsel argued that the respondents have powers to relax the physical standards under the relevant Rules, which they did not exercise. He further submitted that if applicant is not eligible to be appointed as Havildar, he may be offered appointment against any other Group C post, on compassionate grounds. He contended that the applicant has submitted a representation dated 08.11.2019 (Annexure A-7) requesting the respondents to grant him appointment to any other Group ‘C’ post which has not been answered till date. He prayed that the applicant would be satisfied if a direction is issued to the respondents to consider his representation in accordance with law.
