(2.) Petitioner's father admittedly died on 13.01.2003 and for the first time he moved proper application seeking compassionate appointment on 25.07.2011 after completion of his education upto Graduation.

This application was a kind of request to DBEO to keep a post reserved till petitioner completes his educational qualifications. This clearly shows that petitioner and his family was not admittedly and immediately facing any financial scarcity or were not in penury.
