Versus 1. THE UNION OF INDIA THROUGH THE CHIEF POSTMASTER GENERAL, G.P.O.,PATNA-1. 2. THE CHIEF POSTMASTER GENERAL, BIHAR CIRCLE, G.P.O.,PATNA-1. 3. THE DIRECTOR, POSTAL SERVICES(HEAD QUARTER), BIHAR CIRCLE, G.P.O.,PATNA-1. 4. THE CHAIRMAN, CIRCLE RELAXATION COMMITTEE, PATNA. 5. THE SUPERINTENDENT OF POST OFFICES, AURANGABAD DIVISION, AURANGABAD.--- RESPONDENTS. ----------- 2. 24.02.2011. The grievance of the petitioner in the present writ petition is against the order passed by the Central Administrative Tribunal, Patna Bench, Patna dated 28.4.2009, whereby the order passed by the official respondents dated 27.9.2006 rejecting claim of the compassionate appointment was affirmed by the Central Administrative Tribunal. The case of the petitioner was that his father died during harness as Postmaster in the S.S.College Post Office, Aurangabad on 7.6.1999 living behind his wife and one minor son as also one minor daughter. The 2 petitioner applied for his appointment on compassionate ground in the prescribed form on 14.01.2003 and the same was rejected in the year 2006. In view of the fact that the petitioner’s father died in harness on 7.6.1999, the petitioner’s wife applied for the compassionate appointment of her son after attaining the majority in the year 2003 merely after 14 years, but as there was delay of three years the impugned order was by the respondents on 27.9.2006, rejecting the claim of the compassionate appointment. We do not find any reason to interfere with the order passed by the Central Administrative Tribunal. Accordingly, this petition is dismissed. B.Kr. ( T.Meena Kumari,J. ) ( Dharnidhar Jha,J.)
