Petitioner seeks certain relief on the ground that his father died in harness on 26.2.1990. Considering the long period of time that has lapsed https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ and also taking note of the fact that the impugned order dated 14.2.1998 rejecting the claim for compassionate appointment is on the ground that the father has resigned the job and therefore, the petitioner cannot be granted such a relief at present without substantial material. 3. It is contended by the learned counsel for the petitioner that there are materials to show that the father died in harness and therefore, the petitioner's claim for appointment on compassionate ground should be reconsidered. He also states that the petitioner may be given liberty to make a fresh representation to that effect. 4. In view of the submission now made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, the petitioner is permitted to make a fresh representation to the respondent for compassionate appointment within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and the respondent shall consider the same on its own merits and in accordance with law within two months thereafter. The Writ Petition is disposed off accordingly. No costs. ts Sd/- Asst. Registrar //True Copy// Sub Asst. Registrar To The Director General of Police, Rajaji Hall, Govt.
