(1.) The order of rejection dated 05.03.2013 in respect of the claim of compassionate appointment of the writ petitioner is under challenge in this writ petition. The father of the writ petitioner was an employee of the respondent Board and passed away on 06.03.2003 while he was in service.
(2.) The learned counsel appearing on behalf of the writ petitioner made a submission that the mother of the writ petitioner is the second wife of the deceased employee and in this regard, she filed O.S.No.94 of 2003, as a representative on behalf of her minor children, before the learned Principal District Munsif Court, Gingee for claiming equal right on the Death cum Retirement Benefits and the suit was decreed and subsequently the application seeking compassionate appointment was also filed.
(3.) The fact remains that the first application seeking compassionate appointment submitted in the year 2005 by the mother of the writ petitioner, was rejected. However, the mother of the writ petitioner has not chosen to pursue the matter and the writ petitioner was minor at the time of the death of his father.
