(1.) The order of rejection dated 05.07.2017 in relation to the claim of the writ petitioner for compassionate appointment is under challenge in the present writ petition.
(2.) The learned counsel for the writ petitioner states that her husband late Sri Kalidasan was employed as driver in Special Maintenance Department under the third respondent Board. The husband of the writ petitioner died on 06.07.2004, while he was in service. The children of the writ petitioner were minors during the relevant point of time when her husband expired and thus the writ petitioner was unable to submit an application for compassionate appointment during the relevant point of time.
(3.) However, the writ petitioner herein submitted an application immediately on 06.08.2004 to the respondent to provide her an employment. But the Competent authority passed an order on 03.07.2007, rejecting the application on the ground that as per the terms and conditions of the scheme of appointment during the relevant point of time, no appointment could be provided to the writ petitioner. Accordingly, the application submitted by the writ petitioner was rejected and no action has been taken against the order of rejection dated 03.07.2007.
