SECRETARY, SECONDARY EDUCATION, OLD SECRETARIAT, GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, PATNA. 4. THE DIRECTOR, SECONDARY EDUCATION, GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, OLD SECRETARIAT, PATNA. ………………RESPONDENTS. ----------- 3 23.07.2010 Today also there is no assistance on behalf of the petitioner. A prayer is being made for pass over of the case by learned counsel who has not brought the file and he is not ready to assist this Court. From the pleadings made in the writ application, it appears that at the time of death of the father of the petitioner, he was 5 years old. After attaining majority and having passed the matriculation examination, petitioner, for the first time, filed application for his compassionate appointment on 07.07.1995 i.e. 15 years after death of his father. No employer is expected to wait for 15 years to provide support to the family of 2 the deceased employee by entertaining application for compassionate appointment. The writ application is devoid of merits and the same is dismissed. Arvind/ ( J. N. Singh, J.)
