From the very fact it appears that the deceased employee died almost twenty five years ago and the petitioner is approaching this Court now, as such, the sole purpose of compassionate appointment will be frustrated if at all the prayer of the petitioner is allowed. 3. Even otherwise as per the respondent Coal Company Regulation compassionate appointment has to be given only when the application for compassionate appointment is given within 18 months from the date of death which is absent in the instant case. 4. Accordingly, the instant writ application is dismissed in limine. (Deepak Roshan, J.) 19th June 2026 Amit Uploaded on 23/06/2026
