JUSTICE JYOTI SARAN ORAL ORDER (Per: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE) 2. 04.02.2011. This Appeal preferred under Clause 10 of the Letters Patent arises from the order dated 21.12.2010 made by the learned single Judge in above CWJC No. 6276 of 2010. The appellant-writ petitioner is the son of one Munmun Ram. The said Munmun Ram died in the year 2001 while in service. On his death, the appellant applied for compassionate employment. His request for compassionate employment was rejected as the appellant did not possess the minimum educational qualification. The said order made on 10.08.2002 was challenged by the 2 appellant after more than eight years in above CWJC No. 6276 of 2010. The writ petition was dismissed by the learned single Judge on the ground of delay, laches and acquiescence. Therefore, the present Appeal. We have heard learned Advocate Mr Sunil Kumar Verma appearing for the appellant extensively. He agrees that the appellant has failed to explain the undue delay of more than eight years. He has also submitted that though the appellant did possess the requisite qualification of passing 8th standard examination he could not produce relevant material before the authority at the relevant time. He has relied upon the school transfer certificate issued on 27.04.2008. It may be noted that the said transfer certificate is not a certificate of passing 8th standard examination nor it is explained why the appellant had to seek copy of the transfer certificate as late as 27.04.2008. In any view of the matter, it is admitted that on the basis of the certificate produced by the appellant before the authority below the appellant was not qualified for appointment in government service. The writ petition has rightly been dismissed by the learned single Judge on the grounds of delay, laches and acquiescence. No case for interference is made out. The Appeal is dismissed in limine.
