Patna High Court CWJC No.1502 of 2016 dt.10-01-2019 2/2 4 In view of such stand, this Court would only observe that such claim on account of compassionate appointment should not be kept pending inordinately as such pendency has the effect of frustrating the very object of compassionate appointment. The father of petitioner No 2 has died in harness on 09.07.2015. However, till date, respondents have not taken any decision on the claim of the petitioner for compassionate appointment. 5 This Court would only observe that the respondents should take a final decision on the claim of the petitioner expeditiously and preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. 6 The writ petition is disposed of.
