SBCWP NO.1319/02. 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN BENCH AT JAIPUR. O R D E R S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.1319/2002. Dileep Singh Vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors. Date of order:- January 22, 2009. HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MOHAMMAD RAFIQ Shri Subhash Srivastava for the petitioner. Shri Aklesh Jain, Deputy Government Counsel. **** BY THE COURT:- This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner challenging the order dated 12/4/2001 and the order dated 22/8/1996. Learned counsel for the petitioner argued that case of the petitioner has not at all been considered by the respondents. Father of the petitioner died on 15/11/1994 and his application for compassionate appointment was rejected by the respondents vide order dated 22/8/1996. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that in this order, what is stated is that certificate of metric which the petitioner produced could not be believed SBCWP NO.1319/02. 2 because the school in which he studied, was not found at the given address. It is argued that respondents in reply to the writ petition have merely stated that this school was functioning only from 1982 to 1995. It is clear that the writ petition against the order of rejecting application of the petitioner for seeking compassionate appointment has been filed in the year 2002 whereas application of the petitioner for such compassionate appointment was rejected by the respondents as on 22/8/1996. It is trite law that the appointment on compassionate ground ought to be claimed and provided in a deserving case where sole bread earner of the family has suddenly died leaving the dependents in condition. Such a request has to be therefore accepted looking to the urgency at the first instance. In the present case, it appears that even after rejection of the claim of the petitioner, he has approached this court with enormous delay of six years. The writ petition is therefore rejected on the ground of delay and latches. (MOHAMMAD RAFIQ), J. anil
