The District Superintendent of Education, District- Siwan……………………………………………….Respondent/Respondents . ----------- 2. 21.7.2011 Heard learned counsel for the appellant and learned counsel for the State. The adoptive father of the petitioner died in harness in 1989 but the claim of the appellant for compassionate appointment on the ground of adopted child was not accepted by the authorities. It has been submitted that adoption deed was executed in 1990, but the recital made therein would show that the adoption was made in 1982 when the deceased employee was still alive. Be that as it may, now after more than two decades no writ should be issued for offering compassionate appointment to the appellant. Hence, without going into the merits of the matter, we dismiss the writ petition on the 2 ground that the appellant is now aged 43 years and the crisis in the family, even if adoption is accepted, took place 20 years back. The appeal is dismissed. Mkc/- (Shiva Kirti Singh, J.) (Shivaji Pandey, J.)
