V. Kameswar Rao, J. (Oral)

1. The challenge in this writ petition is to an order dated August 14, 2019, passed by the Central Administrative Tribunal Principal Bench, New Delhi (`Tribunal', in short) in Original Application No.3102/2018 whereby the Tribunal has dismissed the OA by stating as under:

"5. Heard learned counsel for the parties and carefully perused the pleadings on record. It is observed that admittedly the applicant's case for compassionate appointment was rejected on the ground of being overage as his case does not come within the ambit of the provisions of the Standing Order No.39/2014, which provides of consideration of candidature for appointment to the post of Constable (Driver) within maximum of 30 years of age only and applicant at the time of submission of his application has already attained the age of 31 years and seven months, which decision was communicated to the applicant vide order dated 9.2.2017. It is to be noted that applicant's mother has also sent her application to the Hon'ble Lt. Governor, Delhi, who also rejected the case of the applicant due to overage, as his case was not covered under the eligibility criteria of Standing Order No.39/2014 issu
