STATE OF TAMIL NADU Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) The order of rejection dated 29.01.2010 in respect of the claim of the writ petitioner seeking compassionate appointment is under challenge in this writ petition.

(2.) The father of the writ petitioner was employed as an Office Assistant at the Panchayat Union Middle School, Gopalasamuthiram and passed away on 15.11985. At the time of death of the father of the writ petitioner, he was a minor. Thus, the learned counsel for the writ petitioner claims that there was a delay in submitting the application seeking compassionate appointment.

(3.) However, an application seeking compassionate appointment was preferred by the writ petitioner on 05.08.1999, after a lapse of 14 years from the date of death of the deceased employee. The said application was rejected on the ground that it was not submitted within a period of 3 years from the date of death of the deceased employee.
