IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.4243 of 2006 SUBHADRA DEVI WIFE OF LATE RAJENDRA PRASAD LAL, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE NASIBCHAK, P.S. BARBIGHA, SHEIKHPURA. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 29/10/2010 Petitioner has already been appointed on Class IV post on the basis of compassionate ground. Now she is looking for better avenues by asking for a direction for her appointment on Class III post. Law is already there in this regard. It is well settled by this Court in various decisions that appointment on compassionate ground is only a mechanism to reach out to the family in distress and not a mechanism to acquire higher post and privilege. Petitioner has been appointed on Class IV post and there is no law by virtue of which she can be directed to be promoted to the next higher post or appointed on the next higher post especially when she has been appointed under a special circumstance not satisfying the touch stone of Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India. - 2 - No direction can be given in this regard. This writ application is dismissed. AMIN/ (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
