On his own admission, petitioner has applied for his appointment on compassionate ground on 25.10.2005, i.e. more than nine years after. From Annexure-C to the counter affidavit, it appears that the petitioner’s application has been rejected on the ground that his father was in work charge establishment and his services were not regularized. Besides delay, grounds for rejection of the application of the petitioner does not appear to be contrary to law. Therefore, this Court does not find any merit in the writ application. It is accordingly dismissed. Pradeep/ ( J. N. Singh, J.)
