IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.12982 of 2006 RAMAN KUMAR SINGH, son of Late Vinay Kumar Singh, resident of Pratap Nagar (Gurgiala, Behind Gayatri Shakti Peeth, Post & P.S & District Saharsa, Bihar--------------petitioner Versus 1.THE STATE OF BIHAR 2.The Director, Animal Husbandry, Bihar, Patna 3.The Chief Secretary, Bihar, Patna 4.The Regional Director, Animal Husbandry, Koshi Division Saharsa----------------------------------------respondents ----------- 4. 14.5.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The grievance of the petitioner is that despite his being duly qualified for Class III post and recommendation was also made by the District Compassionate Committee for the said post he was offered a Class IV post. He has accordingly come to this Court claiming appointment on Class III post on compassionate ground. In the counter affidavit filed today on behalf of the respondent No.2 it is stated that the petitioner has already joined the Class IV post in the year 2006 and is still drawing his salary. There is no word in the writ petition about the writ petitioner having already accepted the said offer and joined on the Class IV post. That being the situation, the right to claim for appointment on compassionate ground stood exhausted with the petitioner’s joining on the 2 Class IV post and now cannot be exercised in his favour for the purpose of a better post. The law on the said point is well settled. In the above circumstances, there is no merit in the writ application. It is, accordingly, dismissed. (Ramesh Kumar Datta,J.) Spal/
