SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) The order of rejection, dated 25.11.2014 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 Shri.P.Subramanian was working as Junior Assistant in Agriculture Department and died on 20.09.2006 while he was in service. The writ petitioner during the relevant point of time was a minor. The mother of the writ petitioner submitted an application on 26.12.2007 seeking appointment to the second daughter of the deceased employee and it is stated that the application is to be considered for appointment. Even in the application dated 26.12.2007 the mother of the writ petitioner has categorically stated that the first daughter of the deceased employee got married and the second daughter (writ petitioner) was studying 5th standard and therefore, the second daughter is to be provided with an appointment after attaining the majority. The said request was considered by the authorities and it was rejected on 25.11.2014 stating that on the date of application, the writ petitioner was aged about 9 years and was a minor, thus, the application cannot be considered at all.

(3.) The learned counsel for the writ petitioner states that during the year 2013, the writ petitioner helself submitted an application. Even at that point of time, it was not made clear whether the writ petitioner is entitled for scheme of compassionate appointment or not. Even otherwise also, the second application submitted by the writ petitioner cannot be entertained as the said application was submitted after a lapse of 3 years from the date of death of the deceased employee.
