Under the circumstances, as per provisions of the relevant rules and, even otherwise, with the lapse of time, the relief, as sought, cannot be granted by this court under writ jurisdiction, more so, when the compassionate appointment cannot be claimed as a matter of right nor the same is a source of recruitment also.
