sir,
my father was employee of rural development and panchayat department. he was designated panchayat secretary. he died on 16 oct 2007.
at that time i was doing b.tech from punjab technical university. a four yrs course. at that time we were in shock of death of my father. we went to head office chd. and applied for compassionate appointment. but in the office one officer misguided us and said.
your degree has not completed yet so apply for same for post as panchatyat secretary. and also we cannot give you higher post than your father's post. we were having no knowledge about department rules. so we applied for it..
when the appointment letter came to me.. it was only six month left for completion of my degree. now we again went head office and now again officer said that you join the job then take six month with out pay leave to complete your degree. when your degree will be completed apply for higher post. we did the same. now when i applied they given me no reply. i again send the application even then they did not reply to me. i went to head office and aksked. then they denied for request and said compassionate grounds is only once. so your at not entitled now.(verbaly told by them)
suggest me what to do. should i go to court.
later appointment made by them to some one who also did b.tech and whose father was also panchatyat sec. is appointed as s.e.p.o higher post as he applied after completion of degree..
suggest me what to do??

compassionate appointment is not matter of right . it would depend upon number of factors .depends . generally compasionate appointmnt is awarded if deceased left dependent sin abject poverty and they had no means of subsistence .
you were offered compassionate appoint ment and you did not take job .

You have bene misguided very nicely. Certainly you were not to be given the excat chair on whihc your father was seated. You were to be considered for 5% of general category vacancies (since you are Sharma)meant fo direct recruitment on the lowest Class.III or Class.IV post. The maximum is generally LDC /Draughtsman/ and the lowest could be gardner, waterman, sweeper. In case someone has been irragularly appointed to higher post then challanging /quoting the same will not help your case.
Apparently you do not have a sound case.
With B Tech degree you are certainly to get a better post on fair merit than wasting efforts on this project.

It is not a right but mercy shown by employer.
