IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.5010 of 2010 1. MOST. PATRIKA DEVI W/O LATE BADRI JHA R/O VILL.- BRAHAMGAYANI, P.O. + P.S.- BHAWANIPUR, DISTT.- PURNEA 2. KALPANA KUMARI D/O LATE BADRI JHA R/O VILL.- BRAHAMGAYANI, P.O. + P.S.- BHAWANIPUR, DISTT.- PURNEA Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE DIRECTOR, HEALTH DEPARTMENT, BIHAR, PATNA 3. THE CIVIL SURGEON-CUM-CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER PURNEA 4. THE MEDICAL OFFICER STATE DISPENSARY, BHAWANIPUR, PURNEA ----------- 2 03/01/2011 The present writ application is for a direction upon the respondents to consider their claim for compassionate appointment. Respondents have already taken a decision to reject the claim of petitioner no. 2 who was a claimant for compassionate appointment as a rightful legal heir being daughter of the erstwhile employee. It is evident from perusal of annexure-7 which was a contempt proceeding that petitioner no. 2 was married on 28.01.1994 and a married daughter has no right to claim compassionate appointment. Even otherwise the employee died in harness way back in the year 1992. There is no occasion now to - 2 - give any direction for consideration of the claim of wife of the employee in light of what had already transpired in the past. There is no infirmity in the decision to reject the claim of petitioner no. 2 and allowing any claim with regard to petitioner no. 1 at this belated stage would be a misplaced exercise in view of the circulars issued by the State with regard to the compassionate appointment and the time frame fixed therein. This writ application has no merit. It is dismissed. AMIN/ (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
