IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.8158 of 2008 Saket Bihari Pandey, son of late Basant Pandey (the Ex-Teacher of Sanatan Dharma Sanskrit Vidyalaya Arkpur, P.S. Seopur (Sakara) District Siwan at present resident of Arakpur (Sakra) Via- Jeeradei, Dist. Siwan. --------- Petitioner Versus 1. The State of Bihar. 2. The Director, Secondary Education, Education Department, Govt. of Bihar, New Secretariat, Patna. 3. The Secretary, Primary, Secondary and Adult Education, Department, Govt. of Bihar, New Secretariat, Patna. 4. The Secretary, Sanskrit Shiksha Board, Patna. 5. The District Education Officer, Siwan. 6. The Head Master, Sanatan Dharma Sanskrit Primary cum Secondary School, Arakpur, P.S. Sheopur (Sakra), Distt. Siwan. -------- Respondents ----------- 2 25.4.2011 Heard learned counsel for the parties. Admittedly the father of the petitioner was not a Government servant and in fact he was only a Teacher of a private Sanskrit School, recognized by the Board wherein the Government was also paying the deficit grant for payment of salary by way of financial aid. To such a private institution, the scheme of compassionate appointment cannot be applicable and, accordingly, it has to be held that as the father of the petitioner was not a Government servant, the petitioner would not be entitled for being appointed in a private school on 2 compassionate ground, which has also not adopted the Government policy. In that view of the matter, this application is wholly misconceived and is accordingly dismissed. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
