Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State informs this Court that father of the petitioner has died in harness on 07.04.2010, as it would appear from the information contained in Para-5 of the writ petition and there is no reference of the fact as to whether just after the death of the father of the petitioner, the petitioner had applied before the competent authority for considering his case to be appointed on
Patna High Court CWJC No.11124 of 2024(2) dt.29-07-2024 2/2 compassionate ground. She has further submitted that the very scheme of the compassionate appointment is to mitigate the hardship which a family suffers as a result of the death of the sole bread earner. Now, after lapse of nearly 14 years, if any mandamus is issued, the same will be against the policy object of the compassionate appointment.
