IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.903 of 2007 ----------- Manoj Kumar, son of late Rajendra Prasad, resident of village Gomhar, P.O. Jagai, P.S. Akangarsarai, District- Nalanda at Biharsharif …………… Petitioner Versus 1.The State of Bihar through the District Magistrate, Nalanda at Biharsharif 2.The District Officer-cum-Chairman, Nalanda District Compassionate Committee, District- Nalanda 3.The Additional Collector, Nalanda, District- Nalanda 4.The Director Secondary Education, Govt. of Bihar, New Secretariat, Vikash Bhawan, Patna 5.The District Education Officer, Nalanda, District- Nalanda ………. Respondents. ------------ 2. 09/07/2010 Case of the petitioner for his appointment on compassionate ground has been rejected by the District Compassionate Committee by its resolution dated 29.7.2005, as contained in Annexure-6. The ground for rejection is that petitioner applied for compassionate appointment, for the first time, after nine years of death of his father. Case of the petitioner is that at the time of death of his father, he was minor and only after he attained majority, he filed application. Under the Government resolution, time limit for filing application for compassionate appointment is five years. There is no provision for extension of the same. Had petitioner applied even being minor, case might have been different. Here, admittedly, his first application was received in the office of the respondents after nine years of death of the deceased employee. Decision of the Committee, therefore, does not suffer from any infirmity. This Court does not find any merit in this writ application. The same is accordingly dismissed. Pradeep/ ( J. N. Singh, J.)
