PLEADER SHRI.ANTONY MUKKATH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 23/02/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No. 5730 of 2011 ================== Dated this the 23rd day of February, 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioner's father, who was a Manager of the Mala Grama Panchayat, expired on 1.1.1980. The petitioner was given an employment in the Panchayat Ministerial Service under the compassionate employment scheme of the Government, in 1987. The petitioner now submits that he ought to have been appointed in the Panchayat Common Service Department and not in the Panchayat Ministerial Service. The petitioner has, therefore, filed Ext.P2 representation before the 1st respondent. He seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P2 representation. 2. I do not think that the petitioner's prayer can be countenanced. He has no right to be appointed under the compassionate employment scheme in any particular service. Apart from that, he was appointed as early as in 1987. It is too late in the day for the petitioner to contend that he should have been appointed in the Panchayat Common Service Department instead of Panchayat Ministerial Service. Therefore, I am not inclined to exercise my discretionary jurisdiction in favour of the petitioner. Accordingly, this writ petition is dismissed.
