LIMITED BANKUARA (W.B.) ----------- For the petitioner : Mr. Gagan Deo Yadav, Advocate. For the NPCC :- M/S. Arun Kumar Arun & Shailendra Kumar, Advocates. =========== 6. 22.06.2010. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the counsel for the National Project Construction Corporation Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “NPCC”). 2. From paragraph 4 of the writ petition it is evident that father of the petitioner while serving NPCC, Bankuara, West Bengal on the post of Supervisor Grade-I (C) died on 13.4.1998. From paragraph 5 of the petition it appears that petitioner filed application for compassionate appointment on 12.6.1998 but his case for compassionate appointment has not been considered so far. From other paragraphs of the petition it appears that petitioner has been filing representations requesting the authorities to consider his case for appointment but when the representations did not bear any fruit then petitioner sought information under Right to Information Act as to why his case is not being considered for appointment although others have been appointed. When no satisfactory answer was given to the petitioner - 2 - then he had no option but to file this writ petition which was filed on 6.5.2010. Father of the petitioner died in harness on 13.4.1998 whereafter request of the petitioner for compassionate appointment was made on 12.6.1998 but the same was not considered inspite of several representations filed by the petitioner from time to time whereafter the petitioner filed the present writ petition on 6.5.2010 i.e. after about 12 years of the death of his father. In the circumstances, I am not inclined to entertain this writ application which is dismissed on the ground of laches. P.K.P. (V.N.Sinha,J.)
