THIS WRIT PETITION, COMING ON FOR ORDERS THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: ORAL ORDER (PER: THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.NAGAPRASANNA) 1. The petitioner is before this Court seeking the following prayer: A) Issue writ of Mandamus directing the respondent no.1 to provide an appointment on compassionate ground in view of the verification of records and listing him in the waiting list by considering the representation dated 18/2/2016 and 28/11/2023, vide ANNEXURE-B and D, by fixing outer limit and B) Issue any other writ or order as this Hon’ble Court may deem fit in the circumstances of the case including the cost in the ends of justice. 2. The claim of the petitioner is to consider his representation for appointment on compassionate grounds. The sister of the petitioner is already appointed on compassionate grounds in terms of order dated 23.11.2023. The brother now projects that the sister is 75% disabled. Therefore, he should be given appointment on the score that the sister submitted a - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC-D:16822 WP No. 102387 of 2024 representation and appointment was rendered and the name of the petitioner is still in the waiting list. The sister of the petitioner getting compassionate appointment on this score she is in need of employment and is 75% disabled is an admitted fact. If that is an admitted fact, the able bodied boy or the man the petitioner, is wanting to disturb a disabled sister, who has secured employment in the Corporation and is now working, the petition ought to be dismissed with exemplary costs. This Court is holding its hands only for the reason that the petitioner is seeking employment on compassionate grounds. Petition thus stands rejected. Ordered accordingly.
