Appellant's father, namely, K.Mahalingam, was appointed as Plot Watcher on 01.04.1981 and was working in the Rasipuram Social Forestry Range of the third respondent Division and thereafter, he was re-appointed as Plot Watcher based on the order of second respondent dated 31.07.2007 and his name was also included in the State wide seniority list in Sl.No.1182. While so, all of a sudden, appellant's father died on 25.06.2009 due to sudden illness. Appellant's father worked in the Department more than 28 years. Subsequent to the death of appellant's father, first respondent issued G.O.Ms.No.95 dated 07.08.2009 regularizing the service of appellant's father based on the seniority as Plot Watcher in the regular post under the Tamil Nadu Forest Subordinate Service Rules. Appellant studied +2 standard and the same was registered in the employment exchange. Appellant's mother approached the respondents on 21.07.2010 seeking employment for the appellant under compassionate ground as Forest Watcher. But, the same was not considered. Hence, appellant submitted a representation dated 25.10.2010 seeking employment on compassionate ground. Since there was no response, appellant submitted another representation dated 05.06.2017. Till date, the representations were pending. Since no action was taken on the representations of appellant, he preferred W.P.No.26729 of 2018 seeking a direction to respondents to appoint him as Forest Watcher or any other suitable post in the Forest Department of the third respondent division, in order to protect his family livelihood. This Court, under order dated 21.03.2019, dismissed the Writ Petition on the reasoning that the appellant's father was not a regular employee and he was working as a daily rated employee. Challenging the said order, the present appeal has been filed.
