WP 1287/11 1 FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO.1287/2011 Gorakshnath Pralhad Panpatil V/s The State & others. _______________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office | Memoranda of Coram, | Court's or Judge's orders appearances, Court's | orders or directions | and Registrar's orders | Shri P.N. Kutti, Advocate for petitioner. Shri S.K. Kadam, AGP for respondent nos.1 to 4. CORAM: P.B. MAJMUDAR & S.S. SHINDE, JJ. Date: 27.04.2011 Heard learned counsel for the parties. Considering the fact that the petitioner’s father died in the year 1986 and the petitioner claimed compassionate appointment in the year 2007, such a stale claim cannot now be considered by the Government. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner was staying in a remote area. In our view, that cannot be a ground for such a long delay. The compassionate appointment is a special WP 1287/11 2 type of appointment and it is required to be made within the stipulated time as specified under the rules. The learned counsel for the petitioner has frankly stated that even after becoming major, the petitioner waited for six years and thereafter applied. The petition, in our view, is absolutely misconceived. Hence, the same is rejected. (S.S. Shinde, J.) (P.B. Majmudar, J.) Dt/- 27.04.2011 ndk/c2741121
