For the petitioner…………………………………Ram Hriday Prasad Maruti Kumar For the respondents……………………………… J.C. to G.A.-1. 3 02-07-2010 Petitioner’s father who was working as constable with the respondents, died in harness on 22.9.2004. Petitioner applied for appointment on compassionate ground. His case was considered and he was subjected to a written test on 26.4.2006 in which he obtained less than pass marks and, therefore, his case was recommended for appointment on class-four post and not on class-three post. The said recommendation was forwarded to the I.G. Personnel Bihar, Patna, through, his letter dated 18.7.2006, as contained in Annexure-2. However, as the petitioner was having a qualification of I.A., I.G. Personnel Bihar, Patna, through his letter dated 15.9.2006, as contained in Annexure-4, directed S.P. Purnea to re-consider the case of the petitioner for his appointment as constable. It is mentioned in the letter that, to boost morale of police, it is necessary to consider the case of the petitioner for appointment on the post of constable and District Compassionate Appointment Committee should re-consider the case of the petitioner for the same. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is otherwise physically fit for appointment as constable. In the circumstances in view of the communication of the I.G. Personnel, as contained in Annexure-4, this Court feels it appropriate that the District Compassionate Appointment Committee should consider the case of the petitioner for his appointment as constable. Therefore, this writ application is disposed of with a direction to the District Compassionate Appointment Committee to consider the case of the petitioner at an early date for his appointment on the post of constable in terms of the said communication of the I.G. Personnel as contained in letter No. 4863 dated 15.9.2006 (Annexure-4). The decision should be taken and appropriate orders should be passed preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. S.P. ( J. N. Singh, J.)
