IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.7959 of 2011 Ranjeet Kumar SON OF LATE SURENDRA PRASAD RESIDENT OF BARIKEBAI, P.S. DANIYAWAN, P.S. SHAHJAHANPUR, DISTRICT PATNA. Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors ---------------------------------- 2 12/08/2011 Matter has been enquired into by the District Magistrate, Nalanda on the direction of the High Court earlier to consider the claim of the petitioner for compassionate appointment. It has emerged in the enquiry that the brother of the petitioner is already a government of India employee working in the railways. Merely production of a certificate that he is separate from the family does not entitle the petitioner to get appointment under the compassionate head scheme because the scheme has been formulated to provide immediate succor to the family due to sudden death of the bread earner. It is not a case where the family of the petitioner is indigent and there is nothing to fall back upon the same. If the brother of the petitioner has no moral obligation to support his widow mother and his brother, this Court has no inclination to allow back door - 2 - entry or appointment in terms of the compassionate policy. In my view the object of compassionate appointment is not met in this case. This writ application is dismissed. AMIN/ (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
