Mandal ----- Dated, the 10th September, 2008 We have heard the government counsel and perused the orders dated 01st February, 2006 and 06th September, 2007. 2. The consideration of the matter by the Single Judge cannot be said to be legally flawed. 3. Although Mr. A. Amanullah, government counsel sought to contend that the appointment of the respondent no.1 was only on sympathetic consideration and not on compassionate ground, no rule could be shown by him, which permit an appointment on sympathetic consideration. Obviously, the appointment of respondent no.1 was on compassionate ground. 4. The consideration of the matter by the Single Judge is - 2 - proper, justifying no interference by us. 5. L.P.A. is dismissed in limine. R. M. Lodha, CJ Kishore K. Mandal, J. sunil
