Decided On March 15, 2019
V.Chinnathambi Appellant
V/S
SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) The order of rejection dated 22.01.2018, 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 was employed as Head Master and died on 30.11.1984, while he was in service. The writ petitioner submitted an application seeking appointment on compassionate grounds, after a lapse of 20 years from the date of death of the deceased employee. Thus, the said application was rejected by the respondents in proceedings dated 22.01.2018.

(3.) Though the learned counsel for the writ petitioner states that the application was submitted within a period of 3 years, there is no proof for the same and even a copy of application has not been produced before this Court. The impugned order states that the application seeking compassionate appointment filed after 26 years from the date of death of the deceased employee.
