WP(C) 2647/2010 BEFORE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE AMITAVA ROY HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE H BARUAH Heard Mr. J. Payeng, learned Counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Rahman, learned State Counsel. Considering the pleaded facts and the relief prayed for, this pe tition is disposed of at the motion stage. According to the petitioner following the death of his father an d the only bread earner of his family on 9/10/2008, he submitted an application before the appropriate State authority seeking compassionate appointment under t he relevant Government policy. The said application, however, instead of being p rocessed in terms of the guidelines laid down by this Court in Achyut Ranjan Das versus State of Assam and others, 2006 (4) GLT 674, was forwarded to a recruitm ent rally for appointment to the post of Constable held on 11/8/2009 at Lakhimpu r. The Sl. No. of the application was 1939. However, when the petitioner present ed himself at that rally, he was told that as his prayer is for compassionate ap pointment, his application had been wrongly forwarded for the said selection pro cess. As no step has been taken by the concerned respondent authority thereafter to remit the said application to be acted upon in terms of the aforem entioned guidelines, the petitioner made necessary enquiries and could come to k now that the same (application) had been misplaced. Confronted with such a situa tion, the petitioner sought to submit a fresh application on 4/4/2010, which has been refused. In this factual premise, he is before this Court. After hearing the learned Counsel for the parties and on a consi deration of the pleaded facts as above, this petition is disposed of by leaving the petitioner at liberty to submit a representation before the appropriate auth ority i.e. the Superintendent of Police, Lakhimpur, North Lakhimpur, along with his fresh application in the prescribed format. In the representation, the petit ioner would state the above narrated facts necessitating the filing of the fresh application. If such a representation is submitted along with the fresh applica tion, the said authority would consider the same in terms of the relevant guidel ines. The process as ordered should be expedited. The petition stands disposed in the above terms. No costs.
