Preliminary Objection :

3. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the Union of India, at the outset, raised preliminary objection that the present writ petition is not maintainable before this Court in view of the fact that the cause of action has taken place in the State of Odisha and the petitioner has also made his application for being considered his appointment on compassionate ground in the State of Odisha. As such the petitioner’s appointment on compassionate ground can only be considered by the DIG, CRPF, Bhubaneswar in view of the communication dated 12.08.2024.

4. I will deal with the maintainability of the writ petition after discussing the facts of the case and the rival submissions made on behalf of the parties in latter part of this order.

Brief Facts:

5. The father of the petitioner died in harness on 30.05.2023 while he was posted as Constable/GD in Central Reserve Police Force (hereinafter referred to as “CRPF”). The petitioner has claimed that he is the youngest son of the deceased Anandi Ram and had applied before the authority for considering his appointment on compassionate ground in requisite form (Form No.IV) in terms of the relevant Rules for the year 2024. Thereafter, the petitioner was called for medical examinaiton and after examining the petitioner by the Medical Board, it was found that the left testis of the petitioner was not visualized and also at the same time had mild hydrocele on the right. The petitioner was declared medically unfit due to absence of left testis in left scrotum. Such communication was made to the petitioner on 24.06.2024. The Director General of Police (Welfare), CRPF, New Delhi informed the petitioner vide communication dated 24.05.2024 that his application dated 19.07.2024 for being considered to be appointed on the post of Constable/GD on compassionate ground cannot be accepted in view of the prescribed guidelines issued by the Home Ministry, Government of India. The petitioner, thereafter, again filed his representation before the Director General, CRPF, New Delhi for considering his case for appointment on compassionate ground on some other posts taking into consideration the constrained financial position of the family. The representation of the petitioner was considered and again for the reason which was already communicated to the petitioner as contained in Letter dated 24.05.2024, the request of the petitioner for being considered his appointment on compassionate ground has been rejected informing the mother of the petitioner Smt. Machhiya Devi vide letter dated 12.08.2024 that if her elder son is found medically fit, he can be considered for being appointed on compassionate ground considering t
