IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1719 of 2009 GURU PASWAN Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 3/2/2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. It appears that case of the petitioner for appointment on compassionate ground was earlier rejected in the year 2004 on the ground that he was not qualified. Thereafter the petitioner for appointment on compassionate ground had produced his certificate and has claimed that he had passed Class-Xth. Such claim of the petitioner was again examined and now it was found that the petitioner has declared his date of birth in his application seeking appointment on compassionate ground as 24.1.1981, but the certificate on the basis of which he was claiming to have become qualified and passed class-Xth is shown his date of birth to be 22.8.1982. In that view of the matter, the District Committee for compassionate appointment has found that case of the petitioner did not inspire confidence. 2 This Court, in fact, would find that not only there is discrepancy in the date of birth but there is a situation arising out of being the petitioner student studying in two schools at the same point of time, in as much as, in the first certificate in which his date of birth has been shown as 24.1.1981 he is said to have admitted to that school on 24.1.1986 and said to have studied till 16.1.2004, whereas, in the second certificate his date of birth has been shown as 22.8.1982 and he is said to have admitted in that school on 20.1.1994 and studied till 1996. Obviously, the contradictory facts mentioned therein in the two certificates are enough to reject the case of the petitioner. That being so, the reasons assigned for rejecting the case of the petitioner for appointment on compassionate ground does not suffer from any infirmity and consequently, this writ application being wholly misconceived is hereby dismissed.
