2.The writ petitioner's father was working as Village Assistant at Thamaraipatti Village, Madurai North Taluk, Madurai District. He passed away on 17 October 1988, while in service. He died leaving behind the writ petitioner's mother, five daughters and a son. The writ petitioner belongs to Hindu Sakkiliyan community which falls under the Scheduled Caste category. The writ petitioner's mother viz., Pandiammal submitted an application on 27 September 1999, seeking compassionate appointment for the petitioner's brother viz., Balasubramanian. The District Collector, Madurai received the said application vide Grievance Petition No.6554, dated 27 September 1999, but declined the request. On the account of the severe economic crisis faced by the family, the writ petitioner's mother has been submitting applications. In order to support the mother, the writ petitioner applied on 27 June 2016 seeking compassionate appointment. The second respondent herein passed the impugned order dated 30 June 2016, rejecting the writ petitioner's request, on the ground that the application has been made 17 years, after the death of her father. Hence, the appellant has filed W.P.(MD).No.21744 of 2016. The learned Single Judge referred to the delay in seeking compassionate appointment and sustained the order of rejection passed by the second respondent herein. Hence this intra court appeal has been filed.
