The petitioner is the wife of the deceased employee, who was employed in the respondent Food Corporation of India. The husband of the writ petitioner was working as a driver and died on 06.11.1999 while he was in service. On account of the sudden death of the husband of the writ petitioner, the family was in penurious circumstances and therefore, submitted an application seeking appointment on compassionate ground on 19.06.2000. 3. The said application was not considered during the relevant point of time. The petitioner has also not pursued the application vigilantly and this Court passed an order dated 22.08.2013 in W.P.No.23347 of 2013 and directed the respondent therein to consider the application and pass appropriate orders. Pursuant to the said directions, the impugned order dated 14.11.2013 was issued rejecting the claim of the writ petitioner on the ground that the petitioner has not stated her educational qualifications correctly. 4. Beyond the reasons stated in the impugned order, this Court is of the considered opinion that even at the time of filing of this writ petition the petitioner was 48 years old and now she is about 56 year of age. Under these circumstances, the petitioner is not only over aged in performing work as servant, in the event of considering the petitioner for appointment in the respondent corporation. On account of the fact that the petitioner is over aged and further she had not pursued her claim vigilantly during the relevant point of time. It is slept over for long time and thereafter woke up and approached this Court. 5. With these observations, this writ petition stands dismissed. No costs.
