Mother Cannot Request a Government Job for Her Son Under the Compassionate Appointment Scheme

The Gujarat HC rejected Ramilaben Vitthalbhai Jambu's petition, stating that a mother cannot request a government job for her adult son under the compassionate appointment scheme.

Ramilaben Jambu's husband, an LIC officer, passed away while in service. She requested a job for her 23-year-old son, but it was denied as the family was financially stable, receiving ₹1.85 crore in benefits, ₹45,000 pension, and ₹84,000 stipend.

The court ruled that compassionate jobs are for financially struggling families and should not be misused.

Citing State of Maharashtra v. Madhuri Maruti Vidhate, it held that an adult son must apply himself and dismissed the case for hiding financial details.
