IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CIVIL WRIT JURISDICTION CASE NO. 7052 OF 2008. MD. SHAMIM, S/O LATE MOHIBUL HASSAN, R/O MOHALLA ALAFGANG BSHANPUR, P.S. L.N.M.U, DARBHANGA, DISTRICT DARBHANGA. .............PETITIONER. Versus 1.LALIT NARAYAN MITHILA UNIVESITY, KAMESHWAR NAGAR, DARBHANGA. 2.VICE CHANCELLOR, LALIT NARAYAN MITHILA UNIVESITY, KAMESHWAR NAGAR, DARBHANGA. 3.REGISTRAR, LALIT NARAYAN MITHILA UNIVESITY, KAMESHWAR NAGAR, DARBHANGA. 4.PRINCIPLA, MAHARAJA LAKSHMESHWAR SINGH, MEMORIAL COLLEGE, KAMESHWAR NAGAR, DARBHANGA. .............RESPONDENTS. 02 26-04-2011 Having heard counsel for the parties and taking into account that the appointment of the younger brother, Md. Raja, has already been made vide letter no. 12714-73/07 dated 13.06.2007, well before filing of this writ application on 01.05.2008 this Court must hold that the present writ application seeking a direction for appointment of the writ petitioner on compassionate ground is not maintainable, inasmuch as, the scheme of compassionate appointment envisages appointment of only one dependent of the deceased employee. The submission of learned counsel for the petitioner that the respondents have committed an error in appointing the younger brother, Md. Raja, in preference to the petitioner-who was the eldest son cannot be gone into in this case, inasmuch as, the petitioner had come out only with a case for his own appointment on compassionate ground. Once the appointment of, Md. Raja, the younger brother of the petitioner has already been made, this Court cannot direct appointment of the petitioner also on compassionate ground. Therefore, if the petitioner still has some grievance as with regard to the appointment of his younger brother, Md. Raja, leading to his exclusion and/or at his cost, he may pursue the remedy which is available to him under law. the aforementioned observations, this application is disposed of.
