Leave granted. It is a case for compassionate

appointment. Though the learned Additional Advocate

General for the State of Uttar Pradesh has made a

formidable submission inviting our reference to a

decision of this Court dismissing the special leave

petition by order dated 02.05.2011 passed in CC

Nos.6246-6247/2011, in the peculiar facts of this

case, we are of the view that this is eminently a fit

case for invocation of our plenary jurisdiction under

Article 142 of the Constitution of India and give a

quietus to the dispute.

2.Accordingly, the interim order dated 21.07.2017 passed by this Court for appointment on compassionate grounds, in the peculiar facts of this case, is made absolute and the appeal is disposed of. NARENDRA PRASAD not be treated as a precedent.

4.Pending application(s), if any, shall stand disposed of.

5.There shall be no orders as to costs. [KURIAN JOSEPH] [A.M. KHANWILKAR] NEW DELHI; OCTOBER 29, 2018.
