IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA LPA No.493 of 2008 MANOJ KUMAR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- For the appellant : Mr.Harendra Kumar Singh For the respondents: Mr. A. Amanullah, SC 17 --- P R E S E N T Hon'ble the Chief Justice And Hon'ble Mr. Justice Kishore K. Mandal --- Dated, the 3rd July, 2008 The appeal suffer suffers from delay of 8 days. An application (I.A.No.3776 of 2008) for condonation thereof has been made. Even if we condone the delay for the cause shown in the application and that we do, we find that appeal has no merit at all and it does not deserve to be admitted. Rikhdeo Prasad (father of the present appellant) was a Class IV employee in the Government Girls High School. He died somewhere in the year 2000. The appellant made an application for appointment on compassionate ground. That the appellant has been given appointment on a Class IV post on compassionate ground is not in dispute. The grievance of the appellant is that he ought to have been appointed to a Class III post. 2 We are afraid that the contention is only misconceived. The appellant has been unnecessarily wasting his energy in the litigation for a claim to the post of Class III on compassionate ground, to which neither he is entitled nor eligible. As indicated above, his father was also a Class IV employee when he died. The appellant is simply matriculate. In this view of the matter, we are of the view that consideration of the matter by the single judge does not suffer from any legal infirmity. The appeal is dismissed, accordingly. This disposes of I.A.No.3776 of 2008 as well. R.M. Lodha, CJ. Kishore K. Mandal, J. Neyaz/
