THE DISTRICT EDUCATION SUPERINTENDENT, SAHARSA. 5. THE DISTRICT EDUCATION SUPERINTENDENT, MADHEPURA. ... ... RESPONDENTS. ----------- 2. 17.5.2010. I.A. No.4905 of 2010 This is an application for condonation of delay of 32 days. Heard Mrs. Papiya Chakravorty, learned counsel for the appellant and Mr. Mukesh Kumar, learned counsel for the State. Perused the application for condonation of delay. We are of the considered opinion, sufficient grounds do exist for condonation of delay and, accordingly, it is so ordered. I.A. stands allowed. L.P.A. No.891 of 2010 As we have condoned the delay, the appeal is taken up for purpose of admission. We have heard the learned counsel for the - 2 - N.H./NKS/- parties. In this appeal, the appellant has assailed the order dated 3.3.2010 passed by the learned Single Judge in C.W.J.C. No.15564 of 2009 whereby he has declined to interfere for consideration of the appellant for compassionate appointment inasmuch as he was a minor when his father died in harness and he had moved the application after expiry of 27 years. In our considered opinion, regard being had to the concept of compassionate appointment and further keeping in view the enormous delay, the order passed by the learned Single Judge cannot be flawed. In the result, the appeal stands dismissed without any further order as to costs. ( Dipak Misra,CJ.) ( Rakesh Kumar,J.)
