For Petitioner : M/s.M.V.Venkataseshan For Respondents : Mr.C.Selvaraj, Standing Counsel ORDER The petitioner, S.Nachammai, has filed the present writ petition seeking for the issuance of a Writ of Mandamus directing the respondents to reappoint the petitioner to the post of Assessor in which post she was already appointed on 05.12.2001. 2. Heard Mr.M.V.Venkataseshan, the learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner. Mr.C.Selvaraj, the learned Standing Counsel takes notice for the respondents. 3. By consent of both parties, the writ petition itself is taken up for final disposal. 4. The learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner was appointed as Assessor in the erstwhile Tamil Nadu Electricity Board on compassionate ground on 05.12.2001 since her husband by name V.Seenivasan died in an accident while he was in service. The petitioner, after serving almost six years, due to her inability to continue her service, has taken a hasty decision to resign her job. Accordingly, she resigned her job as Assessor on 02.03.2007. Now, the petitioner having become jobless has once again made a representation on 10.06.2011 to the first respondent requesting to consider her to the post of Assessor on re-appointment basis. As the said representation was not considered by the respondents, she has come to this Court with the above prayer. 5. This Court is not inclined to consider such a request for the reason that it is not the case of the petitioner that the respondents refused appointment on compassionate ground. On the other hand, she was appointed as Assessor on compassionate ground on 05.12.2001. But, after working almost six years, on her own volition, she took a hasty decision https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 and resigned her job with effect from 02.03.2007 and almost after four years she has come to this Court to consider her for reappointment. Therefore, this Court does not find any merits in the present writ petition. Accordingly, the same shall stand dismissed. No costs.
