IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.5713 of 2006 MD.ZAMIL AHMAD Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 08.11.2010 Petitioner came to be appointed on compassionate ground after the death of his brother on the recommendation of the wife of the deceased employee, on the ground that she was illiterate and the present petitioner will take care of her. After the appointment the authorities realized that the policy relating to compassionate ground does not provide for appointment of a brother-in-law on compassionate ground i.e. brother of her deceased brother. Obviously there was mistake committed by the authorities while giving such a benefit. If such a mistake has come to be undone by way of Annexure-2 then no interference is required to be made with the order which was any way passed to correct an illegality committed by the respondents in the first place. Compassionate appointment can only be made in terms of policy and not beyond it. Writ is dismissed. PN (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
