There is nothing on record to show that the petitioner or any of her sons immediately applied for compassionate appointment. Annexure-3 is a representation by the petitioner to the Director General of Police, Bihar, Patna requesting for appointment of her son. It is a typed copy and no date is mentioned therein. Even if in paragraph 8 where the said document is referred no date of filing of the application is mentioned. Therefore, this Court does not find any prompt step taken by the petitioner for making a request for her compassionate 2 appointment or that of any of her sons within time. Hence, this Court does not find any merit in the writ application and the same is dismissed. However, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner or her son had moved the Chief Minister in Janta Darbar and it was informed that her case for appointment on compassionate ground is being processed in the Department. This matter is concerned with the respondents and this Court refrains from making any comment in respect of the same. Arvind/ ( J. N. Singh, J.)
