AMIR ALAM, ADVOCATE ----------- 4 6-5-2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel appearing for the Union of India. The impugned order dated 19-7-2010 passed by the Central Administrative Tribunal, Patna Bench, Patna shows that the request of compassionate appointment on account of death of father of the petitioner was finally rejected on 22-9- 2006 and the O.A. in question was filed much beyond the period of limitation, in the year 2010. Hence the O.A. has been dismissed on account of limitation. Ordinarily, we would have accepted the submission made on behalf of petitioner to remand the matter for being 2 considered on merits but in the present case since the death of the father of the petitioner took place 27 years earlier, we find the case not fit for even remand because the law is well settled that compassionate appointment can be claimed and should be granted immediately after the death of the employee in service. In that view of the matter, we are constraint to dismiss this appeal. We dismiss it accordingly. Naresh ( Shiva Kirti Singh, J.) ( Dr. Ravi Ranjan,J)
