1 D.B. CIVIL SPECIAL APPEAL (W) NO.88/2010 Khoom DasVs.The State of Rajasthan & Ors. Date of Order :: 08-02-2010 HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE MR. JAGDISH BHALLA HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE DINESH MAHESHWARI Mr. Girish Sankhla, for the appellant. The appellant, as adopted son of deceased-employee, made representation within time for appointment under the Rajasthan Compassionate Appointment of Dependants of Deceased Government Servant Rules, 1996 (for short, 'the Rules of 1996'). The said representation was rejected in the year 1999. However, the appellant challenged the same by way of filing the writ petition only in the year 2009; and while explaining the delay and laches, the appellant informed this Court that after the rejection of the said representation, another representation was made. Learned counsel for the appellant submits that the second representation was statutory in nature. However, he has failed to show any provision of law under which such representation was made. We are of the considered opinion that there is no provision for making second representation under the Rules of 1996. We have also considered the aims and objects of the provisions of said Rules of 1996 and we are clearly of the view that after a long period of more than ten years, the appellant cannot claim appointment as a matter of right. We further find that the appellant has miserably failed to explain the delay in filing the writ petition after ten years, and therefore, the learned Single Judge has not committed any error in dismissing the writ petition. Accordingly, the appeal fails and is dismissed. [DINESH MAHESHWARI],J. [JAGDISH BHALLA], CJ. Praveen
