Holding
The writ application is disposed of as withdrawn, with liberty granted to the younger brother to pursue his own compassionate appointment application.
Summary
The petitioner, Om Prakash, elder son of the late Shiv Chandra Paswan, filed a writ application seeking a compassionate appointment on a Grade ‘A’ post under option R‑3 of the Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) Rehabilitation Scheme. He claimed that his family was in a pitiable condition and requested the appointment on compassionate grounds. During the pendency of the application, the petitioner secured employment with NTPC Ltd. and consequently withdrew his claim for the compassionate appointment. The court noted that the younger brother, Ravi Prakash, had filed a separate application for a similar compassionate appointment. Without addressing the merits of the original claim, the court granted Ravi Prakash liberty to pursue his application and disposed of the petitioner’s writ as withdrawn.
