RAJESH KUMAR S/O LATE RAMASHISH MAHTO R/O VILL.- NATHUPUR, P.O. SULTANPUR, P.S.- FATUHA, DISTT.- PATNA ----------- 02. 07.09.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner is the elder son, aggrieved by the compassionate appointment of his younger brother made on 27.11.2006 after the death of their father on 12.3.2004. If the delay in filing the writ application on 22.2.2010 was not sufficient, the allegations in the writ petition against his brother and mother of having colluded to obtain appointment stands fully covered by a Division Bench judgment of this Court in 2004 (2) PLJR 453 (VISHAL KUMAR VERSUS THE STATE OF 2 BIHAR & ORS.) that sibling rivalry in competing claims for compassionate appointment does not warrant interference of the writ Court. The application is dismissed. P.K. ( Navin Sinha, J.)
