The respondent bank on the other hand submitted that the petitioner is not eligible for compassionate employment as per the policy of the bank. The respondent bank, in this regard, submitted that according to its policy benefit of compassionate employment is available to a family member of an employee who had died prior to completing age of 55 years whereas husband of the petitioner at the time of death was 59 years and 10 months old, thus, petitioner is not eligible for compassionate appointment.<\/p>\n<p>The single judge bench of <strong>Justice Jagmohan Bansal<\/strong> while examining the relevant part of the bank\u2019s policy found ambiguity in it and thereby held that the petitoner\u2019s case for compassionate appointment be considered by the respondent bank.
