CWP No.9442 of 2008 In this civil writ petition filed under Article 226/227 of the Constitution of India, petitioner, Ram Piara son of Durbal Ram seeks appointment on compassionate ground.

The appointment of compassionate ground is to give immediate relief to the family to survive. The very fact that the petition has been filed after 13 years does not entitle the petitioner to any relief. The petition is dismissed. (AJAI LAMBA) February 24, 2009 JUDGE avin
