THE AREA EDUCATION OFFICER GORIYAKOTHI, SIWAN, DISTT.- SIWAN ----------- 2 03/01/2011 Petitioner is a claimant for appointment under the compassionate appointment category since his mother Late Kusum Kumari Sinha died in harness sometime in the year 2004. There are other legal heirs but claim has been made by this petitioner before the concerned authority specially the Area Education Officer, Goriakothi, Siwan. When no decision was taken, petitioner even moved the District Magistrate, Siwan but it is their silence which has compelled the petitioner to approach the High Court on the issue. No counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the State despite the writ application having been filed on - 2 - 22.03.2010 and copy of the writ application having been served on the learned counsel for the State earlier. Looking at the nature of the prayer and relief, this writ application is disposed of with a direction upon the Area Education Officer, Goria Kothi, Siwan that he will place the claim and application of the petitioner before the District Compassionate Committee which shall look into the case and claim of the petitioner and take a decision in the very first meeting which is going to be held in this regard and the outcome of such a decision will be communicated to the petitioner thereafter. This writ application stands disposed of with the direction aforesaid. AMIN/ (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
