WP(C) 5777/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE N. KOTISWAR SINGH Heard Mr. I. Huda, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. R. Bora, larned co unsel appearing for the respondent Nos. 1, 2, and 4. The present writ petition has been filed by the writ petitioner claiming for app ointment under the relevant Die and Harness Scheme applicable in the State of As sam. Since the prayer of the petitioner is for a direction to the respondent authorit ies to consider his case under the Die and Harness Scheme, I am of the view that the present writ petition may be disposed of at the motion stage itself. It is the case of the petitioner that the father of the petitioner late Uday Ram Koch was serving as a Grade-IV employee of the Health and Medical Department, a t Community Hall Centre, Mankachar, under south Salmara, Mankachar Sub-division of Dhubri District who died in harness on 3.5.2010 while in service due to prolo nged illness leaving his wife, two sons one being minor including the present pe titioner and one daughter and other relatives. The petitioner claims that he is eligible for appointment either to Grade-III or Grade-IV post under the Government of Assam and as such he applied for appointm ent on compassionate ground under the Die and Harness Scheme alongwith necessary documents, which however had remained unattended. Being aggrieved, the petitioner has approached this Hon’ble Court by filing the present writ petition. Since the entire Die and Harness Scheme has been freamed to provide appointment to the eligible legal heirs of the deceased employee to tide over the financial difficulties, it is desirable that such application for appointment be consider ed as expeditiously as possible. The learned counsel for the petitioner has placed reliance on a judgment of this Hon’ble High Court passed in Achyut Ranjan Das & Ors VS. State of Assam & Ors, reported in 2006(4) GLT 674, wherein the detail guide lines have been issued by this Hon’ble Court in the matter of consideration for appointmen t under the Die and Harness Scheme and submits that the present case is squarely covered by the aforesaid decision of this Court for which, the respondents have no disagreement. Accordingly, the present writ petition is disposed of with a direction t o the respondent authorities to consider the case of the petitioner for appointm ent under the Die and Harness Scheme as per the guidelines given in the judgment passed in Achyut Ranjan Das (supra). The respondents are directed to consider the application of the petition er for appointment to any Grade-III or Grade-IV post as may be applicable. It is also directed that the respondent No.3, i.e. the concerned District Level Commi ttee, Dhubri District, may consider the application of the petitioner in its nex t immediate meeting soon after the date of submission of the representation by t he petitioner. The petitioner is directed to submit a representation to the Comm issioner and Secretary, Health Department, Govt. of Assam, alongwith a certifie d copy of this order with all necessary documents, who in turn shall refer the m atter to the concerned officers or the District Level Selection Committee of Dhu bri District and the Distinct Level Committee shall consider and dispose of the petitioner’s case as directed above. With the above observations and directions, this writ petition stands di sposed of. No order as to costs.
