THE HEADMASTER, RAJKIYA BUNIYADI VIDYALAYA, BHAWANARI ADAPUR, EAST CHAMPARAN. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RESPONDENTS ********** 4 8.12.2010 Petitioner was appointed on compassionate ground for the reason that her husband was an employee of the Indian Air Force had died during the service. The said appointment was made by the then R.D.D.E., Tirhut Division, Muzaffarpur, who was not entitled to make appointments in the manner he did so. Appointment on compassionate grounds are made on an application being made to the competent authority who thereafter refers the name to the Establishment Committee which examines whether the incumbent would come within the guidelines laid down by the State Government for appointment on compassionate grounds. Apparently this 2 procedure was not followed. If at all the petitioner ought to have applied to the Central Government which could have considered her appointment, if there are any such guideline for making appointments on compassionate grounds. It appears that the appointments made by the then R.D.D.E., Tirhut Division, Muzaffarpur have all been terminated by the State Government. In any event, this Court finds that for the purposes of making appointment on compassionate grounds, the procedure for such appointments have not been followed. In the result, this writ application is accordingly, dismissed. Sanjay ( Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
