No. 12587 of 2007. The appellant is the daughter of one Bhupendra Bhatt. The said Bhupendra Bhatt, a Government employee, died on 25th May 2000 in harness. At that time the appellant was a minor. The widow of the said Bhupendra Bhatt, mother of the appellant, applied for compassionate employment. Her claim for compassionate employment was rejected as she did not possess requisite qualification. Thereafter, the appellant having attained the age of majority, claimed compassionate employment. As her claim was not processed, the widow and the appellant filed above C.W.J.C. No. 12578 of 2007. By the impugned judgment dated 8th April 2011 the learned single Judge has rejected the writ petition. Therefore, the present Appeal. Learned advocate Mr. Raj Kishore Prasad Singh has appeared for the appellant. He has submitted that the wife of the deceased has forgone her claim for compassionate employment and the daughter of the deceased claims for compassionate employment. It is more than ten years since the death of the aforesaid Bhupendra Bhatt. Twice the claim for compassionate appointment made by his widow was rejected. The claim for compassionate employment after more than ten years cannot be entertained. Learned single Judge has rightly rejected the petition. No case for interference is made out.
