JEHANABAD RESPONDENT ----------- REG;- I.A. NO.7631 OF 2008 2 22.12.2008 This application has been filed for condoning the delay in filing the appeal According to the Stamp Reporter, the appeal is barred by limitation of 474 days. After having heard Junior Counsel to Government Pleader No. I for the State, we are of the opinion that the cause shown is not sufficient to condone the delay. Accordingly the application filed for condoning the delay in filing the appeal is rejected. However a good case may not be lost on the ground of limitation, we have examined the merit of the appeal. The learned Single Judge while passing the impugned order had directed for consideration of the case of the writ petitioner for - 2 - appointment on compassionate ground if the writ petitioner-appellant is otherwise found eligible for appointment. This direction can not be considered to mean that this Court had given direction for appointment. We are of the opinion that this appeal is absolutely misconceived. Consequently the appeal being barred by limitation is also dismissed. (Chandramauli Kr.Prasad,ACJ) (Dr.Ravi Ranjan,J.) A.Kumar
