2.The petitioner has filed this writ petition seeking direction to the respondents to appoint him on compassionate grounds. 3.The case of the petitioner is that his father worked as Senior Packer in the second respondent office and died on 12.04.1995. Thereafter his mother made representation dated 13.06.1997 to the respondents seeking appointment on compassionate grounds to the petitioner. Since there was no reply from the respondents, the petitioner's mother made another representation on 14.12.1999. Thereafter, the second respondent sent a communication on 21.12.2000 with regard to the willingness to work in any other office in Chennai or anywhere in India. The petitioner also responded to the said letter on 27.12.2000 to the effect that he is willing to work in any other office in Chennai or anywhere in India.
