WP(C) 5131/2010 MCBEFORE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE B K SHARMA Heard Mr. A K Purkayastha, learned counsel for the petitioner as well as Mr. B Gogoi, learned Standing Counsel, Health Department, Assam. By means of this writ petition filed in March 2008, the petitioner has prayed fo r a direction to the respondents to appoint him against any Grade-III or Grade-I V post on compassionate ground. The petition so made is on account of death of h is father while in service on 05.09.1997. Thus, the writ petition was filed long 11 years thereafter. That apart, although the writ petition was filed in the ye ar 2008 but the same was defective and the same was registered only in 2010 afte r removal of the defects. According to the petitioner, his case was processed in the year 1998. No thing is there to show as to what measures the petitioner had taken to pursue hi s grievance. Be that as it may, after long 13 years of death of the father of th e petitioner there cannot be any compassionate appointment, which is provided to give immediate financial assistance. Further, the compassionate appointment is also not a source of recruitment and there cannot be endless compassion in such matter. In view of the above, I do not find any merit in the writ petition and a ccordingly, it is dismissed.
