IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.5143 of 2008 Ram Bhushan Ray, son of late Awadh Kishore Ray, resident of Village and Post Nalhu Dwar, P.S. Khanpur, District Samastipur. -------- Petitioner Versus 1. The Bihar State Food & Civil Supplies Corporation Limited, Sone Bhawan, 5th Floor, Birchand Patel Path, Patna through its Managing Director. 2. The Managing Director, Bihar State Food and Civil Supplies Corporation Limited, Sone Bhawan, 5th Floor, Birchand Patel Path, Patna. 3. The Chief of Administration, Bihar State Food and Civil Supplies Corporation Limited, Sone Bhawan, 5th Floor, Birchand Patel Path, Patna. 4. District Manager, Bihar State Food and Civil Supplies Corporation Limited, Samastipur, District Samastipur. 5. The Incharge District Manager, Bihar State Food and Civil Supplies Corporation Limited, Samastipur, District Samastipur. ---------- Respondents ----------- 2 21.4.2011 Heard learned counsel for the parties. The prayer of the petitioner for appointment on compassionate ground in Bihar State Food and Civil Supplies Corporation has been sought to be opposed by the respondents by taking a plea that due to serious financial crunch and over-staffing in the Corporation, no one has been appointed on compassionate ground for more than last ten years. The respondents have also explained that a large number of dependants of the deceased employee are still on the roll of the Corporation but, the Corporation on 2 account of 632 excess employees working on Class-4 post, is not in a position to appoint any person and, in fact, there is a complete ban on new appointment in the Corporation. In that view of the matter, this Court would find that the reasons for not allowing the claim of the petitioner for appointment on compassionate ground, does not suffer from any error. The petitioner also cannot be appointed on compassionate ground so as to create impediment in the functioning of the corporation and payment of salary of the working employees appointed on regular basis. That being so, this writ application is wholly misconceived and is dismissed accordingly. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
