When the petitioner did not receive appointment, he filed a writ petition, which gave rise to WP(C) No. 2928/2005. The said writ petition was disposed of, on 13 -04-2005, with the following directions: The respondents concerned shall consider, within a period of three months from today, the claim of the petitioner along with the cases of similarly situated pe rsons, if any, for appointment on compassionate ground in terms of the relevant Government policy and in accordance with law contained in that behalf and if, up on such verification, the petitioner is found eligible for appointment on compas sionate ground, the respondents shall do the needful. The outcome of the verific ation of the petitioner’s claim for appointment shall be communicated, in writin g, to the petitioner. In case, no vacancy exists, as on today, to accommodate th e petitioner, the name of the petitioner shall be registered and his case for ap pointment shall be considered as and when his turn comes, provided that the peti tioner is found, on such verification, as directed hereinbefore, entitled to be appointed on compassionate ground. The petitioner’s case was, thereafter, considered by the concerned Distr ict Level Committee, in its meeting, held on 03-04-2007. According to the recomm endations made by the said Committee, the petitioner along with two others were selected in order of merit for appointment, the other two candidates being Smti Barnali Devi and Sri Sanjoy Boro. As Sanjoy Boro did not receive requisite appoi ntment, he filed a writ petition, which gave rise to WP(C) No. 4495/2009. Having taken note of the grievances of Sanjoy Boro, the Court disposed of the writ pet ition, on 21-12-2009, directing the respondents to place the case of the petiti oner before the District Level Committee. The relevant observations and directio ns read thus: In view of the above position, it is clear that a process for consideration of the case of the petitioner has not been taken to its logical end after recommend ation in his favour has been made by the District Level Selection Committee.

The present petitioner, now, submits that Sanjoy Boro and Barnali Devi, have already been appointed, but the petitioner has been left out. In view of what have been indicated above, this Court is of the view tha t the present writ petition can be disposed of, at this stage, with necessary or der for consideration and also for doing the needful by the respondents/authorit ies concerned.
