IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.16144 of 2007 RAJEEV KUMAR Versus THE UNION OF INDIA & ORS ----------- 2. 1.5.2008 This application has been filed for quashing the order dated 17th May,2007 passed by the Patna Bench of the Central Administrative Tribunal in O.A.No.270 of 2007, whereby the application filed by the petitioner for appointment on compassionate ground has been dismissed. According to the petitioner’s own showing his father died in the year 1978, while he was selected for appointment as casual labour. He has resorted to several litigations including O.A.No.142 of 1993 praying for grant of appointment on compassionate ground. Said application was dismissed as withdrawn as back as in the year 1993. The petitioner thereafter again chose to file an application before the Tribunal for grant of compassionate appointment, which has been dismissed by the impugned order. - 2 - Mr. U.K.Mishra appears on behalf of the petitioner. The Tribunal taking into account that the compassionate appointment is granted to ward off the calamity that engulfs the family on sudden death of the bread-earner and the petitioner’s father having died in the year 1978, and his earlier application being dismissed in the year 1993, he is not entitled to any relief. We do not find any error in the same. Application stands dismissed. HR ( C. K. Prasad, ACJ ) ( J. N. Singh, J. )
