Chairman-Cum-Managing Director Tangedco Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) The order of rejection dated 16.08.2018, rejecting the claim of the writ petitioner for compassionate appointment is under challenge in the present writ petition.

(2.) The father of the writ petitioner Late Sri.Krishnadevan was employed as Lineman in the respondent Electricity Board and died on 09.09.2005, while he was in service.

(3.) The learned counsel for the writ petitioner states that on account of the sudden demise of the father of the writ petitioner, the family was in penurious circumstances and was not in a position to lead their life as the father of the writ petitioner was the sole breadwinner of the family. However, the writ petitioner had not submitted an application within a period of three years as the petitioner was a minor during the relevant point of time when his father expired.
