The Petitioner seeks direction to the Respondent to consider her for appointment on compassionate ground. Her application in that regard has already been rejected on the ground that the financial condition of the Petitioner does not warrant opportunity to the Petitioner for being appointed on compassionate ground. In any case, the Petitioner was born on 7th August 1950. We are on 26th June 2007. Almost 57 years age has been completed and the retirement age is 58 years. 3. In the circumstances, taking into consideration the decision already taken by the Respondent rejecting the claim of the Petitioner as well as the age factor of the Petitioner and the fact that appointment on compassionate ground is not a matter of right, the petition deserves to be rejected and the same is hereby rejected.
