IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.13949 of 2009 1. VINAY KUMAR S/O LATE MADAN PRASAD VILL KOILWAR, KHETARI, MOH- P.S- KOILWAR, DISTT- BHOJPUR Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH THE CHIEF SECRETARY, GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, PATNA 2. THE SECRETARY-CUM-COMMISSIONER SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT, GOVT. OF BIHAR, PATNA 3. THE DIRECTOR SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT, GOVT. OF BIHAR, PATNA 4. THE PRINCIPAL-IN-CHARGE RAJKIYA MAHILA POLYTECHNIC, PHULWARISHARIF, PATNA 5. THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE-CUM-CHAIRMAN DISTRICT APPOINTMENT COMMITTEE, PATNA ----------- 2. 4.11.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The father of the petitioner, a class IV employee died in harness on 11.4.2007. The petitioner claimed to have applied for compassionate appointment through respondent no. 4 and which has been forwarded to the District Compassionate Appointment Committee. Learned counsel submits that the committee is repeatedly asking for required information from respondent no. 4 on more than one occasion but due to the failure of respondent no. 4 to furnish such information his case is being deferred for consideration every time by the committee. If the District Compassionate Appointment Committee has requisitioned further information from respondent no. 4, he is naturally required to comply the same forthwith so that the case of the petitioner can be considered 2 appropriately at the next meeting of the District Compassionate Appointment Committee. Failure to do so on part of respondent no. 4 may render him liable to disciplinary action by the competent authority. The writ application stands disposed with the aforesaid observations. P. Kumar (Navin Sinha, J.)
