WP(C) 4882/2011 BEFORE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE B D AGARWAL Heard Sri R M Choudhury, learned counsel for the petitioner as well as S ri P Roy, learned Additional Senior Government Advocate for the State of Assam. The petitioner’s case is that his father namely, Late Ram Charan Singh, was killed by extremists on 04.07.1996 and thereafter, the petitioner ap plied for a Government job. However, the State Authorities have not taken any ac tion in that regard. According to the learned counsel, the Government has a scheme to give preference to the members of the affected families for Government jobs. The scheme is known as Assam Public Services (Appointment of Fam ily Members of Persons Killed by the Extremists/ Terrorists) Rules 1992. The sai d scheme was modified on 22.06.2004. Since the petitioner has not furnished copies of the application for the job or representation, I am not in a position to issue a writ in the na ture of mandamus. However, the respondent No. 2, i.e., the Deputy Commissioner, Udalguri, shall take necessary steps to consider the representation of the petit ioner and if similarly situated persons have been given the benefit of the schem e, the same should be given to the petitioner, if he is so entitled. With the aforesaid directions, the writ petition stands disposed of.
