JUDGMENT 1. - Hear learned counsel for the petitioner. 2. The petitioner's contention is that his father (by adoption of petitioner) who was employee of respondent died on 11.02.1999. The petitioner was adopted on 28.09.1988 and after death of his adoptive father and the deed was got registered on 10.03.1999, i.e. after about 11 years from date of alleged adoption. The petitioner's application for compassionate appointment was refused in November 1999. The petitioner has preferred this writ petition seeking compassionate appointment on the ground that the rejection of petitioner's claim because of non registration of the adoption deed was absolutely illegal which is clear from the judgment of this Court delivered in S.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 3784/2004 - Narayan Singh v. State of Raj. and Ors. decided on 2.01.2007. 3. ner went on submitting the representation which have not been respond by the respondents and therefore, in view of the judgments of this Court in the case of Raj Kumar Kashyap v. Director of Primary and Secondary Education Bikaner and others reported in 2009 Western Law Cases (UC) page 333 , the petition may not be dismissed on the ground of delay. 4. The compassionate appointment cannot be claimed as a matter of right and is provided because of the likely hardship which may occur to the family members due to the death of the employee. The petitioner as denied appointment by order dated 11 November 1999 as per the petitioner himself and it is not a case where petitioner's claim has not been deiced by the respondents. In the case of Raj Kumar Kashyap (Supra), the petitioner's application was not decided by the respondent therefore, it was held that delay was not on the part of the petitioner and therefore, delay was condoned which is not a case here. So far as legality and illegality of the order is concerned that can be examined provided it is challenged in time and the petitioner, who and his family could carry on for more than ten years without employment cannot claim benefit of such beneficial legislation. 5. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed.Writ petition Dismissed. *******
