The daughter-in-law of the appellant had applied for compassionate appointment in the school and had also filed an affidavit stating that she will bear the responsibility of all the maintenance with the treatment of the appellant in future and forever.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Though the respondent 9 did not do as stated by her in an affidavit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As no decision on the representation of the appellant was taken, the appellant approaches the Writ Court by filing the petition but the learned Single Judge by the order under challenge had dismissed the petition taking the view that the appellant\u2019s son aged about 37 years is in a position to look after her.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Appellant\u2019s counsel submitted that the only surviving son of the appellant was unemployed and was not in a position to look after the appellant.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">High Court stated that once respondent 9 had obtained the compassionate appointment by giving the undertaking to maintain and extend medical assistance to the appellant, then she was bound by that.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Therefore, in view of the above present appeal was disposed of and the appellant was granted liberty to file an appropriate detailed representation before respondent 6 who will duly consider her grievance of the appellant and pass an appropriate order after giving an opportunity to the appellant and respondent 9.
