*dormientibus jura subveniunt” meaning that the law assists only those who are vigilant, and not those who sleep over their rights.*

*R.Neelakandan, Addl.Advocate General appeared for the Appellant Board.*

*Hon’ble Bench also held*
*”Appointment on compassionate grounds is not driven by sympathy,*
*but compliance of the parameters laid down by* *law are essentially to be satisfied.”*

*”It is now fairly well settled that there is no vested right to*
*compassionate appointment and such right cannot be exercised at the whim and fancy of the claimant. The claim for compassionate appointment is circumcized by the scheme for compassionate appointment. It is also well settled that the object behind appointment on* *compassionate ground is to enable the family to tide over the sudden financial crisis into* *which it is pushed and not to* *provide employment on the mere death of the employee.”*

*R.Neelakandan, AAG is assisted by R.K.Kalpana, Standing Counsel for Appellant Metro Water Board*
