18-12-2012 Re.: L.P.A. No. 1949 of 2012 & I.A. No. 8248 of 2012:

This Appeal preferred by the writ petitioner under

Clause 10 of the Letters Patent arises from the order dated 8^th July

2011 made by the learned single Judge in CWJC No. 3680 of

2011.

The appellant seeks compassionate employment in

the respondent- Life Insurance Corporation of India (hereinafter

referred to as ‘the Corporation’) on the premise that his father, a

Development Officer in the Corporation, died in harness. The

claim has been rejected as the appellant had crossed the age bar.

The challenge to the denial in CWJC No. 3680 of 2011 has been

rejected by the learned single Judge. Therefore, this Appeal.

We see no merit in this Appeal.

Besides, the Appeal is barred by limitation of 479

days. No sufficient cause has been made out for the said delay.

Interlocutory Application is rejected.

Appeal is dismissed as time barred.
