Now he is claiming his compassionate appointment on the ground that since at the time of death of his grand mother he was not eligible for appointment, as he was minor. Now, he gained majority, his case for compassionate appointment must be considered by the authorities. Compassionate appointment is not a mode of regular appointment. Very object of this appointment is to give immediate financial help to the family, whose bread earner has died.
