PETITIONER AND 1. The Managing Director, Singareni Colleries Co. Ltd., Lakdikapul, Hyderabad and another. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY WRIT PETITION No.9548 of 1997 ORAL ORDER: By way of filing this writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, the petitioner seeks a writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not providing employment to her son on compassionate grounds, as arbitrary and illegal. In the counter-affidavit filed by the respondents, it is categorically stated that the petitioner’s husband was dismissed from services on 26.12.1992 and in order to get over the said dismissal, the petitioner furnished forged and fabricated documents showing the date of death of her husband as 20.08.1991. In fact, the petitioner’s husband died on 20.08.1994. The Revenue Divisional Officer, Peddapally, who made a thorough enquiry into the death of the husband of the petitioner on the request of the respondent, concluded that the petitioner’s husband died on 20.08.1994 and not on 20.08.1991. In view of the same, and since the petitioner’s husband had never challenged the dismissal order, which has become final, the petitioner is not entitled to claim for appointment of her son on compassionate ground. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed as infructuous. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________ A. Gopal Reddy, J Date: 05.07.2006 va
