THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH THE DIRECTOR GENERAL-CUM-INSPECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE, BIHAR, PATNA. 2. THE INSPECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE BIHAR MILITARY POLICE, PANT BHAWAN, PATNA. 3. THE DEPUTY INSPECTOR GENERAL, MILITARY POLICE, NORTH DIVISION, MUZAFFARPUR. 4. THE COMMANDANT, BIHAR MILITRY POLICE(B.M.P.9) JAMALPUR, MUNGER --------RESPONDENTS. ----------- 03. 21.07.2009. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. 2. Petitioner is the widow of late Banshidhar Ram, who died on 17.1.1990 while serving on class IV post of cobbler under the Commandant Bihar Military Police( B.M.P.-9), Jamalpur, Munger. 3. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that as the authorities had not recognized her as the legally wedded wife of Banshidhar Ram, she earlier could not apply for appointment on compassionate ground. Now she has been so declared by the civil court under judgment dated 16.7.2008 passed in Title Suit No. 152 of 2002 and this Court appreciating the findings of the civil court in the said judgment should direct the authorities to consider her case for appointment on compassionate ground. I decline to entertain such request as the husband of the petitioner died in the year 1990 and she has filed this writ application for a direction to the State Respondents to consider her case for appointment on compassionate ground after about twenty years of his death, which is wholly contrary to the circulars of the State Government, whereunder request for - 2 - compassionate appointment has to be made within a reasonable time of the death of the Government servants. In the present case, the death has taken place in 1990 whereafter succession case was filed, which was disposed of under orders dated 22.4.1994 in favour of Maya Devi, then the petitioner filed Revocation Case No. 39 of 1994 under which the succession certificate issued in favour of Maya Devi was revoked, thereafter petitioner has filed title suit No. 152 of 2002, which was disposed of under orders dated 16.7.2008. 4. In the circumstances, I am not inclined to entertain the prayer made in this writ application, which is dismissed. Rajesh/ (V.N.Sinha, J.)
