1 S.B.Civil Writ Petition No.1102/2010 Magan Singh vs. The General Manager, Uco Bank & ors. Date of order: 8.2.2010 HON'BLE MR. PRAKASH TATIA, J. Mr. PS Rathore for the petitioner. ... Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. In the year 1995 the employee died. The petitioner was minor at that time and his grand-father submitted application for grant of compassionate appointment for petitioner, however, according to the petitioner it was in the form of keeping the lien over the post of the petitioner (who was minor at that time and was not in service, yet the lien has been sought to be created for the post). The petitioner's contention is that he attained the age of majority in the year 2006 and, thereafter, he tried to get the appointment on compassionate ground. The learned counsel for the petitioner relied upon the judgment of this Court delivered in the case of Smt. Maya L. Dhingrani & ors. v. The UCO Bank & ors. (2002(5) WLC (Raj.) 763), wherein when the employee had died, his 2 daughter was of the year 12 years and the application was rejected. Then the petitioner applied after attaining the age of majority. This Court held that the application be treated within time and the directions were issued for considering the case of the petitioner for grant of appointment on compassionate grounds. The aforesaid judgment cannot be applied in the facts of the present case, where the petitioner's father died in the year 1995 and the petitioner became major in the year 2006 and the petitioner is approaching this Court in the year 2010. The purpose and object of compassionate appointment is not to keep a lien for such a long period as by now 15 years have already passed. Therefore, the petitioner is not entitled to any relief. The writ petition of the petition is, therefore, dismissed. ( PRAKASH TATIA),J. mlt.
