The General Manager, Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd., Tiruchirappalli 620 014. ... Respondent Petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India praying for a Writ of Mandamus, directing the respondent to appoint the petitioner as Supervisor in BHEL in compassionate ground, who has lost his father. For petitioner .. Mr.M.Alagappan For respondent .. Mr.S.Chandra Sekar, Government Advocate ORDER It is the case of the petitioner that his father, while working as Grade I Cook in Medical Canteen, Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd., Tiruchirapalli, died on 30.04.1984. At that time, the petitioner was aged 2 years. According to the petitioner, he had worked as NMR for one and half years in Seamless Steel Tube Plant in BHEL and then, from the year 1996 to 2000, he had worked as purchase supervisor in the same Plant and now, he is jobless. According to him, he is an athlete and have own prizes in several competitions. Seeking employment opportunity, on compassionate ground, he has made a representation, dated 30.07.2011, to the respondent, but the same was not considered. Hence, the petitioner has sought for a mandamus to direct the respondent to appoint him as Supervisor in BHEL, on compassionate ground. 2.The scheme of compassionate appointment has been evolved with an object to tide over the immediate financial constraint to the family of the deceased employee, for which a request should be made to the authorities within a reasonable time, as provided under the scheme. The petitioner's father died in 1984. Now, in 2011, the petitioner has come forward with a request, seeking for employment assistance on compassionate ground, which is highly belated and therefore, the mandamus cannot be granted. Hence, the Writ petition is dismissed. No costs. Sd ASST REGISTRAR ( CO ) /TRUE COPY/ SUB ASST REGISTRAR gcg To The General Manager, Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd., Tiruchirappalli 620 014.
