Petitioner Versus 1.The State Of Bihar through Executive Engineer, Irrigation Division, Katihar 2.The District Magistrate, Katihar 3.The Executive Engineer, Western Koshi Canal Investigation Division, Jhanjharpur, District- Madhubani. ……………. Respondents ----------- 3. 03/03/2011 Admittedly, petitioner’s father died in 1988. At the time of his death, petitioner was minor and therefore, his mother, the widow of the deceased, applied for compassionate appointment. The matter remained pending and when the petitioner became major, on the advice of his mother, he applied for the same. The application of the petitioner is apparently beyond time. In the circumstances, this Court does not find any merit in this application. The same is accordingly dismissed. Pradeep/ ( J. N. Singh,J.)
