WP(C) 6535/2011 BEFORE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE B. K.SHARMA Heard Mr DK Sarma, learned counsel for the petitioner as well as Mr B Choudhury, learned Standing Counsel for the education department. The matter relates to compassionate appointment, for which the petitione r, the widow of late Gambhir Bora is an aspirant. Her husband died on 8.1.2011 w hile serving as Assistant Teacher at Kampur Aahom Gaon L.P. School in the distri ct of Nagaon. Her application for compassionate appointment was processed at var ious levels and eventually, the State Level Committee approved her case by its r esolution adopted in its meeting held on 22.3.2010. More than one and a half years have elapsed since the case of the petiti oner was approved by the State Level Committee. Needless to say that in the matt er of compassionate appointment the candidate is entitled to relaxation of age. The case of the petitioner having been approved, the State Level Committee itsel f ought to have recommended for condonation of her age. In view of above, this writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to take appropriate action towards compliance of the recommendation of the State L evel Committee for appointment of the petitioner on compassionate ground. Let th e entire exercise be carried out as expeditiously as possible, but, at any rate, not later than February, 2012.
