IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.11778 of 2008 MRITUNJAY KUMAR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2/ 07/11/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner is aggrieved by the rejection of the claim for compassionate appointment dated 22.4.2008. It states that his claim has already been rejected earlier on 11.10.2003. The Respondents have filed a counter affidavit reiterating and placing on record the aforesaid order passed in the year 2003, rejecting the claim, at Annexure-H. The writ application, let alone the averments made in the counter affidavit, is itself silent and does not challenge the recital in the impugned order that the claim for compassionate appointment has already been rejected as early as 2003. The rejection has, therefore, attained finality and mere submission of a fresh application in 2006 shall not revive the claim. The writ application is dismissed. AKS/ ( Navin Sinha, J.)
