MURUGAN Appellant

COMMISSIONER Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) The order of rejection dated 08.05.2009, in respect of the claim of the writ petitioner seeking compassionate appointment is under challenge.

(2.) The learned Counsel appearing for the writ petitioner stated that the father of the writ petitioner Late Shri. Suruli was employed a Scavenger in Dindigul Municipality and passed away on 16.10.2002, while he was in service.

(3.) The writ petitioner claims that on account of the sudden demise of his father, the family is in indigent circumstances. However, the application seeking companionate appointment was preferred before the competent authority on 12.02009. Further, the learned counsel for the petitioner states that there was a total ban on appointment of posts by the Government during the relevant point of time. However, the ban imposed by the Government was from the year 2001 to 2006, but the application was preferred on 12.02009, after a lapse of about 3 years from the date of the lifting of the ban on appointment. Even otherwise, the father of the writ petitioner died on 16.10.2002 and no application seeking compassionate appointment was filed in between the period 2002 and 2009. Thus, the reason stated in the impugned order that the application was submitted beyond a period of 3 years, is certainly in accordance with the terms and conditions of the scheme of appointment.
