IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Review No.184 of 2005 Prem Kumar son of Late Sukhlal Singh, resident of Village and P.O. Chechah Bagh- Saidkhan, P.S. Bidupur, District-Vaishali at Hajipur. …. Petitioner-Petitioner. Versus 1. The State of Bihar. 2. Central Bank of India through General Manager, Central Bank of India, Patna. 3. Regional Manager, Central Bank of India, Muzaffarpur. 4. Branch Manager, Central Bank of India, Branch, Sahdei Bazurg, P.S. Sahadei, District-Vaishali. … Respondents/ Opposite parties. ----------- For the petitioner : Mr. Nirmal Kumar Sinha No.III, Advocate. Mr. Shankar Kumar, advocate. For the respondents : None. ------ 04/ 06.08.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. 2. This petition has been filed for review of order dated 24.06.2005 (not annexed to this petition) by which a bench of this court dismissed CWJC No.3540 of 2004 holding that the scheme of compassionate appointment did not authorize entertainment of an application beyond one year from the date of death whether the applicant is a minor or he is a major. The Bank is bound by each of the clauses contained in the scheme of compassionate appointment and they cannot alter any provision contained therein. 3. It is quite apparent that the father of the petitioner died in harness on 28.12.1997 leaving behind a widow Sharda Devi and other children including the petitioner. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the mother of the petitioner filed an application on 05.01.1998 for compassionate appointment of herself or the petitioner who was his 2 eldest son, but no mention has been made about the said application in the writ petition, nor the said application has been annexed. However, it is stated that the petitioner attained majority much later and he passed his intermediate examination in the year 2003. It is further claimed that in the meantime he filed his application for compassionate appointment which was rejected by the authorities on 07.09.2002. 5. The law is well settled in this regard as the provision of compassionate appointment has been made for immediate relief to the family which had received a shock due to death of the bread earner. The said appointment cannot legally wait for any minor child of the deceased to attain majority nor until then any post could be legally reserved for him. 6. In the said circumstances, this court does not find any error apparent on the face of record, nor does it find any material to take a different view. Accordingly, this civil review petition is dismissed. Sunil ( S. N. Hussain, J.)
