IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.13148 of 2007 Ranjana Kumari, daughter of Dharam Das Prasad and Late Uma Kumari Gupta, resident of Mohalla Top Khana Bazar, P.S. Kotwali, District Munger. ---------- Petitioner Versus 1. The State of Bihar. 2. The District Magistrate, Munger. 3. The General Manager, District Industries, Munger, Bihar. 4. The Director, Science and Technology, Bihar, Patna. --------- Respondent ----------- 2 8.4.2011 No one appears on behalf of the petitioner. Counsel for the State is present. From perusal of the writ application and specially the impugned order, it is clear that the appointment of the petitioner on compassionate appointment has been refused on account of she being a married daughter of the deceased employee. Once this aspect is admitted, the petitioner would automatically become disqualified for being appointed on compassionate ground, inasmuch as, in the Government circular dated 5.10.1991, it is only the wife followed by son followed by unmarried daughter and lastly the widow of the pre-deceased son, who have been treated to be dependant for the purpose of being employed on compassionate ground. The 2 petitioner does fall in any of the four categories and is a married daughter. In that view of the matter, no error can be found in the impugned order rejecting the case of the petitioner for her appointment on compassionate ground. Accordingly, this application, being wholly misconceived, is dismissed. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
