                                 ----------------------------------

2 17.11.2011 Heard learned counsel for the parties.

Taking into consideration that father of the petitioner was

not a permanent employee under the respondent but was working on a

contract basis, there is no circular or provision for giving appointment

to the ward of such employee under the compassionate appointment

head.

In view of the same no direction or mandamus can be

issued to appoint the petitioner on compassionate ground because her

father has died in the meanwhile.

This writ petition is dismissed as being devoid of merit.
