IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.6081 of 2009 ASHWINI KUMAR & ORS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2/ 14/05/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State of Bihar. The petitioners are wards of persons who died in harness as Assistant Teachers working in primary school. Their applications for compassionate appointment came to be considered by the District Compassionate Appointment Committee which then made recommendations in their favour for appointment on a Class-III post on 2.8.2005, 26.2.2005 and 18.1.2006 respectively. In pursuance thereof by annexure-6 series the petitioners have been granted appointment as Nagar Shikshaks. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that Nagar Shikshaks are not Government servants and, therefore, this offer of appointment to them was in teeth of the Government Instructions as contained in order dated 17.1.2008 at annexure-7 that compassionate appointments would not be made on such posts and directing that compassionate appointments be made under the Government only. 2 The writ application is disposed with direction to the respondents to grant compassionate appointment to the petitioners in terms of the recommendation made in their favour by the District Compassionate Appointment Committee strictly in terms of the Government Instruction dated 17.10.2008. Let the same be done expeditiously within a maximum period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
