According to the Petitioner he was 11 years of age at that time. Therefore, on attaining the majority in 1994, he applied for appointment on compassionate ground. According to the Petitioner under the policy of the State Government, then in force, the application of the Petitioner could not have been considered. But then that policy was changed in 1996 and therefore, - 2 - the application of the Petitioner could have been considered. But it was not considered by the Respondent. The Petitioner was also not informed anything about the same. Therefore, the Petitioner approached the Human Rights Commission in 2006 and in 2007 this Court. It is obvious that the Petitioner’s claim is vague. The petition is guilty of latches. Petition, therefore, cannot be entertained. It is rejected. (D.K.DESHMUKH, J.) (V.M.KANADE, J.)
