IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No. 16704 of 2009 DATE OF DECISION : 03.11.2009 Kamaljeet Singh .... PETITIONER Versus The Chairman/Chief Administrator, Punjab, Urban Planning and Development Authority, Punjab ..... RESPONDENT CORAM :- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SATISH KUMAR MITTAL Present: Mr. Harpreet S. Rakhra, Advocate, for the petitioner. * * * SATISH KUMAR MITTAL , J. The petitioner, who is son of the deceased employee, has filed the instant petition for issuing direction to the respondents to grant him the appointment on compassionate ground under the 2002 Scheme of the State Government for compassionate appointment. In the present case, father of the petitioner is said to have died in harness on 21.11.1991. It is alleged that at that time, the petitioner was minor. It is the case of the petitioner that in spite of the various representations made by him and his mother, his claim was not considered. When during the course of arguments, it was pointed out that this petition is highly belated, learned counsel for the petitioner argued that in view of the proviso to para 13 (a) of the 2002 Scheme, added in the year CWP No. 16704 of 2009 -2- 2008, which provides that a dependent may be allowed to apply for compassionate appointment within a period of one year from the date of attaining the age of majority, this petition is maintainable at this stage. I do not find any force in this contention of learned counsel for the petitioner, as in the petition, the petitioner has neither mentioned his date of birth nor the date on which he attained the age of majority. He has not placed on record any material, which shows that he has become major just in the year 2008. The petitioner has also not annexed any representation made by him or his mother, except Annexure P-1, which does not bear any date. After hearing counsel for the petitioner, I do not find any ground to entertain this petition, at this belated stage. Dismissed. November 03, 2009 ( SATISH KUMAR MITTAL ) ndj JUDGE
