HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MOHAMMAD RAFIQ Ms. Lily Parashar on behalf of Shri Rajeev Surana for the petitioners. ****** BY THE COURT: This writ petition has been filed seeking compassionate appointment on the ground that father of petitioner No.1 died while serving the respondents on 2/4/1996. 2) Ms.Lily Parashar, learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that application of the petitioner has been illegally rejected by the respondents and the stand of the respondents that petitioner did not timely reply, is wholly incorrect because petitioner within a month of the death of his father, applied for appointment. 3) In any case, writ of mandamus in the matter relating to compassionate appointment cannot be entertained after delay of a one decade. SBCWP NO.4799/06. 2 4) It is trite law that compassionate appointment has to be sought for and granted immediately after the death of the government servant concerned. The writ petition suffers from enormous delay and latches. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. (MOHAMMAD RAFIQ) J. anil
