JUDGMENT
This is a case where the petitioner seeks compassionate
appointment, consequent to the death of her mother in the
year 2010, asserting that she is fully dependent upon her.
2. However, it is conceded by Smt.Thulasi Raj - learned
counsel for the petitioner, without any reservation, that the
petitioner was married much prior to the death of her mother
and that her husband was also gainfully employed.
3. Going by the judgment of the Honourable Supreme
Court in Fertilizers and Chemicals Travancore Ltd. v.
Anusree K.B. [AIR 2022 SC 4766] the sine qua non for a
claim for compassionate appointment to be favourably
considered is the immediate financial requirement of the
claimant.
4. Pertinently, this matter has been pending before
this Court for the last twelve years without any orders and
there is no explanation, through further pleadings, as to the
present fiscal scenario with respect to the petitioner. This is
relevant more so because, as I have already said above, she
is married and living with her husband. WP(C) NO. 8265 OF 2012
In the afore circumstances, I am afraid that this Court cannot
come to the aid of the petitioner, This Writ Petition is, therefore,
closed .
