IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No. 22194 of 2011 Shankar Chhetri Son Of Late Srikrishna Bahadur Resident Of Village/Mohalla - Naka Chowk, Purnea City, District - Purnea ……………… Petitioner Versus 1. The Chairman State Bank Of India Central Officer Mumbai 2. General Manager, State Bank Of India Main Branch, Gandhi Maidan, Bihar, Patna 3. The Assistant General Manager State Bank Of India, Regional Officer, Purnea 4. Branch Manager, State Bank Of India Baisi Branch, Purnea …………. Respondents ---------------------------------- For the Petitioner: Mr. Pramod Kumar Mallik, Advocate For the SBI: Mr. Kaushalendra Kumar Sinha, Advocate ************** 02. 19.12.2011 Petitioner is a claimant for appointment under the respondent-State Bank of India under the compassionate head. Counsel representing State Bank of India submits that there is no Scheme for compassionate appointment any more. In fact, the scheme, which is in existence, is known as “SBI Scheme” for payment of ex-gratia “emolument amount”. There was occasion for Hon'ble Supreme Court to look into the similar dispute, which was a case of State Bank of India Versus Raj Kumar, reported in 2010 (2) BBCJ 353, where the Hon'ble Apex Court has upheld the new policy and has also held that unless there is specific provision in the Scheme or any rule in this regard, no right for compassionate appointment accrues as a matter of right. The Hon'ble Apex Court has also held that abolition of the Scheme also mean seizure of the existing rule, if it was in place. If the contention of the counsel for the petitioner is tested in light of what has been decided in the said case, then the claim does not merit any consideration, even though the death of 2 father of the petitioner happened in the year 2004. There is no merit in the Writ Application. It is dismissed. SKM (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
