WP(C) 5924/2010 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE B. P. KATAKEY Heard Mr SB Laskar, learned counsel for the petitioner, as well as Mr BJ Ghosh, learned State counsel, appearing for the respondents. As agreed to by learned counsel for the parties, the matter is taken up for hearing and disposal, at the motion stage itself. The grievance of the petitioner in the present petition is that although after the death of his father, who died in harness on 1 December 2009, he made an application on 7 January 2010 for his appointment on compassionate ground, no thing has been done till date by the respondents. He, therefore, prays for a dir ection to the respondent authorities for consideration of his case for appointme nt on compassionate ground, in terms of the guidelines issued for that purpose f rom time to time by the Government of Assam. The matter relating to the appointment on compassionate ground has been settled by this Court in Achyut Ranjan Das vs. State of Assam & Ors, reported in (2006) 4 GLT 674. In view of the above, the present writ petition is disposed of with a di rection to the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner, strictly in t erms of the govt. guidelines/policy-decision in that behalf, and in terms of the directions contained in the aforesaid judgment of this Court. Such consideration shall be done on its own turn, and along with other s imilarly placed candidates. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs.
