ORDER - ORAL

Per : Smt. Leena Mehendale, Member (A)

Heard both the counsel for a while.
2. This is a case for compassionate appointment where the father of the applicant died while in service on 24.12.2005 and an application was made for compassionate appointment in 2006, but was rejected and the same decision communicated to him by letter dated 23.10.2008 (Annexure A-1). The OA has been filed on 28.04.2011 and an application for condonation of delay has been filed on 12.08.2011 without mentioning any satisfactorily reason. The MA No.580/2011 simply mentions that the applicant was unaware/ignorant of law and after he came to know the availability of judicial forum there was a financial difficulty. Both this points do not satisfy us. We do not see any merit for condoning the delay for three years in a case of compassionate appointment. The scheme of compassionate appointment was designed to take care of the immediate financial shock suffered by the family of the deceased person due to sudden death of an earning hand. Hence, the delay in this matter cannot be condoned.
3. The OA is, therefore, dismissed. No order as to costs.
