ApexCourt in the case of Umesh Kumar Nagpal Vs The State of Haryana
reported in 1994(4) SCC 138, wherein, it was held that the dependent of an employee dying in harness and leaving his family in penury without any means of livelihood would alone be entitled for being considered for
appointment on compassionate ground on purely humanitarian consideration that unless some source of livelihood is provided the family would not be able to make both ends meet.
the revised policy of the State Government Circular dated 05.10.1991 of compassionate appointment which is prevalent even at present contains a clear provision that the condition of the family of the deceased employee
would be primarily taken into consideration while deciding the claim of compassionate appointment of a dependent of the deceased employee
The Government of Bihar vide its Notification No. 3/C 2-10-18 ka dated 26th April, 1995 in the light of various decisions of the High Court modified the earlier notification of the year 1991 with regard to compassionate appointment and this notification provided with two type of committees for consideration of the compassionate appointment. The first committee related to Secretariat and its officials. The second committee related to District Level Appointments which clearly provides that at the District Level there will be a committee which has already been constituted earlier under the Chairmanship of the D.C. and thereafter on the recommendation of such committee the appointments shall be made by the appointing authority in the respective departments.
