By the said order this Court directed the authorities of the University to consider and dispose of the case of the petitioner for compassionate appointment within a period of four months. In the show cause filed on behalf of the opposite party nos. 2 and 3 of the University, it is stated that steps have been taken for getting the father of the petitioner absorbed in the service of the university, as he was working on an unsanctioned post on the staffing 2 pattern, the matter is yet pending before the competent authority and as long as the order of absorption of the father of the petitioner is not passed the petitioner cannot be appointed on compassionate ground and for the said reason by order dated 3.2.2011 the case of the petitioner has been rejected holding that it would not be considered at this stage. In the aforesaid circumstances, it does not appear that any willful disobedience of the order of this court has been committed. The contempt application is accordingly rejected. However, it would be open to the petitioner to challenge the order dated 3.2.2011 in appropriate proceedings. S.Pandey ( Ramesh Kumar Datta, J.)
