In this writ application, petitioner has challenged the resolution of the District Compassionate Committee contained in Memo No.880 dated 10.08.2002 by which case of the petitioner for appointment on compassionate ground has been rejected. Petitioner has filed this writ application in 2010, after eight years of the said decision. There is nothing on record to show that the petitioner was agitating his claim before any appropriate authority during this period. Obviously, petitioner is not in need of compassionate appointment. The writ application is dismissed on the ground of delay and laches. BT (J. N. Singh, J.)
