The Senior Divisional Personnel Officer, Divisional Rail Manager Office, Rail Ambala Cantt. Ambala 133001. 4. The Public Information Officer, N. Rail Ambala 5. The Senior Divisional Finance, Manager, N. Rail Ambala … Respondents ----------- 4/- 28.03.2011 The present writ application has been preferred against the judgment and order dated 03.11.2002 passed by Central Administrative Tribunal, Patna in O.A. No. 183 of 2010 and M.A. No. 368 of 2010, by which prayer of the petitioner for appointing him on compassionate ground on account of death of his brother who died in a train accident in 2000 has been rejected. It seems that petitioner has made an application in the year 2001 before the respondent department for appointment on compassionate ground, which was rejected by the authorities, but however the petitioner has chosen to question the in action of the respondent department for not providing him appointment on compassionate ground. 2 The Central Administrative Tribunal, Patna did not agree with the contention of the petitioner and rejected the O.A. of the petitioner on the ground of limitation also. Having heard learned counsel for parties and after perusing the material available on records, we are of the opinion that this petition is barred by limitation. Accordingly, we also concur with the opinion expressed by the Central Administrative Tribunal, Patna. However, it is made clear that dismissal of the O.A. or this writ petition will not stand in the way of the petitioner to be considered independently, if he makes an application for any of the post in the respondent department. With the aforesaid observation this writ application is disposed of. Ashwini/- (T. Meena Kumari, J.) (Jyoti Saran, J.)
