(Oral) The petitioner is aggrieved since his application for compassionate appointment has been rejected on the ground of being belated. The date of birth of the petitioner is 1.1.1977. The father of the petitioner had died on 2.3.1990. The petitioner attained the age of 21 years on 1.1.1998. The application was filed on 9.2.1999 (Annexure R-6). It is seen from the Scheme that no relaxation will be allowed in entertaining the request beyond the age of 21 years except in the case of son/unmarried daughter/widow of the deceased Government servant, belonging to the difficult area as laid down in the policy. In case the petitioner falls under the relaxation, it will be open to him to file a fresh 2 representation before the first respondent in which case the matter will be duly considered by the first respondent and appropriate orders in accordance with law will be passed in another three months. The writ petition is disposed of. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice 5th April, 2010. (Justice R.B. Misra), (tr) Judge.
