1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR. WRIT PETITION NO. 5960 OF 2010 (Sudhakar Gulabsa Saraf and another .v. Chief Executive Officer) Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's or Judge's Orders and Registrar's orders. Shri B.M. Khan, Advocate for the petitioner. CORAM : SMT. VASANTI A. NAIK AND PRASANNA B. VARALE, JJ. 26TH JULY, 2011. By this petition, the petitioners seek appointment of the petitioner No.2 on compassionate ground. It is the case of the petitioners that the petitioner No.1 had received a notice of compulsory retirement as a Class-IV employee in the year 2002 and as the economic condition of the family was not good, the petitioner No.1 submitted an application dated 23rd May, 2002 in the prescribed form seeking appointment of the petitioner No.2 on compassionate ground. Since the petitioner No.2 was not appointed on compassionate ground, it is the case of the petitioner, that another representation was made by the petitioner No.2 some time in the year 2003 for grant of appointment on compassionate ground. On hearing the learned Counsel for the petitioner and on perusal of the writ petition, it appears that the writ petition suffers from laches and the same is liable to be dismissed. Merely, because the petitioners had filed applications for grant of appointment on compassionate ground in the years 2002 and 2003 and the same were not favourably considered, the petitioners cannot approach this Court belatedly at the fag end of the year 2010. More so, the object of granting appointment on compassionate ground is to provide financial help and succour to the family of the person who is retired on medical grounds, to overcome the financial difficulty at that time. 2 In the aforesaid set of facts, we are not inclined to entertain this writ petition. The same is dismissed with no order as to costs. JUDGE JUDGE *rrg.
