1.
Heard the parties.
2.
It is the case of grant of compassionate appointment.
3.
Admittedly, the father of the petitioner died on
24.06.2012. 13 years have lapsed and the family has tied over the immediate financial crises.
4.
The Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of “State of West Bengal Vs. Debabrata Tiwari & Ors.”, reported in (2025) 5 SCC 712 held that due to lapse of time, the family ties over the immediate financial crises, thus there is no necessity to grant compassionate appointment.
5.
Further, in this case, I find that the claim of the compassionate appointment of the petitioner was rejected way back on 03.12.2012. This order is at Annexure-4. This order has not been challenged by the petitioner immediately, rather he has filed this writ petition in the year 2026, praying to re-consider the
2026:JHHC:1425 2
aforesaid order. Thus, on this ground also, I am not inclined to entertain this writ application, the writ application stands dismissed.
