For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Indu Bhushan For the Respondent/s : Mr. (Ga7) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE MIHIR KUMAR JHA ORAL ORDER 27-07-2015 Heard learned counsel for the parties.

Having regard to the fact that the application for appointment of the petitioner on compassionate ground had already been rejected on 17.7.2002 and such rejection is based on a valid ground, inasmuch as the death of the husband of the petitioner had taken place on 26.11.1991, whereas the Government circular dated 20.10.1991 prescribes only period of five years for filing of such application, this Court is now not inclined to examine the claim of the petitioner only because she had filed a

Patna High Court CWJC No.12106 of 2008 (2) dt.27-07-2015 belated application after rejection of the claim of the adopted son. It was for the petitioner to file her application within the prescribed period of five years and if she has not done this Court now after 21 years of the death of the bread-earner is not inclined to issue any direction for reconsideration of the case of the petitioner.

This application is, accordingly, dismissed.
