WP(C) 3039/2010 BEFORE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE B.K. SHARMA. . Heard Mr. B. Ullah, learned counsel for the petitioner as well as Mr. M. K. Misra, learned Standing Counsel, Education Department. This writ petition has been filed praying for a direction to the respond ents to consider the case of the petitioner for appointment on compassionate gro und. The prayer so made is on account of the death of the father of the petition er while in service on 26.6.1999. The father of the petitioner was Head Pandit i n Athara Lower Primary School. The father of the petitioner left behind his lega l heirs indicated in paragraph 4 of the writ petition, which includes the mother of the petitioner, 3 (three) sons including the petitioner and 3 (three) daught ers. According to the petitioner, he had submitted an application in the year 20 03, which was forwarded to the District Elementary Education Officer, Kamrup, Gu wahati by the Deputy Inspector of Schools, Rangia vide Annexure-III letter dated 3.1.2004. Thereafter, another communication was made on 21.11.2005 regarding su bmission of proposal for appointment on compassionate ground. It appears that the petitioner had earlier approached this Court by fili ng WP(C) No.4563/2006 and the same was dismissed by order dated 11.9.2006, as ce rtain guidelines had already been issued by this Court in Achyut Ranjan Das v. S tate of Assam & Ors, reported in 2006 (4) GLT 674. Mr. M.K. Misra, learned Standing Counsel, Education Department submits that as p er the guidelines laid down in Achyut Ranjan Das (supra), the petitioner’s fath er having expired 11 years back and he having submitted the application for comp assionate appointment well beyond the period of limitation prescribed i.e. in th e year 2003, there is no question of consideration of the case of the petitioner at this belated stage. Considering the matter in its entirety, this writ petition is disposed o f providing examination of the case of the petitioner as to whether it comes wit hin the purview of the compassionate appointment after 11 years of the death of his father.
