The petitioner’s father, late Khudiram Gayary, while serving as Khasasi, in the establishment of Executive Engineer, Irrigation Department, Government o f Assam, died-in-harness, on 02-09-2003, whereupon, the present petitioner appli ed for appointment, on compassionate ground, to a post of Grade-IV, in the said establishment, in terms of the scheme, which has been in force in this regard. T hough the District Level Committee forwarded the name of the petitioner for appo intment as had been sought for by the petitioner, the State Level Committee did not clear the petitioner’s name for appointment. Aggrieved by the fact that appr opriate action had not been taken by the State Level Committee, the petitioner h as filed this writ petition. However, on perusal of the materials on record and on hearing the learned counse l for the parties concerned, what transpires is that the date of death of the pe titioner’s father, Late Khudiram Gayary, had not been correctly mentioned, while placing the case of the petitioner before the State Level Committee and it was for this reason that the State Level Committee did not clear the appointment of the petitioner. In the meanwhile, however, the necessary correction has been mad e and Dr. B Ahmed, learned counsel for the Irrigation Department, Government of Assam, submits that the petitioner’s case for consideration would be placed, onc e again, at the next meeting of the State Level Committee and, thereafter, it wo uld be for the State Level Committee, to take appropriate decision in this regar d. In view of what have been indicated above, it becomes clear that the Sta te Level Committee has to consider the petitioner’s case in terms of the relevan t scheme and pass appropriate order(s). Considering, therefore, the matter in its entirety and in the interest o f justice, this writ petition is closed with direction given to the respondents to place the petitioner’s case, before the State Level Committee, for considerat ion, in their next meeting and on the petitioner’s case being so placed, as dire cted hereinbefore, the State Level Committee shall consider the petitioner’s cas e and take appropriate decision in the matter.
