WP(C) 1108/2010 BEFORE THE HON BLE MR. JUSTICE HRISHIKESH ROY Heard Mr. DP Chaliha, learned senior counsel and Mr. MK Mishra, learned standing counsel for the respondents. In this case the petitioner seeks direction for his compassionate appointment af ter his father died on 17.7.1997, who served in a Grade-IV post in Kukurmara ME School of Dhubri District. In the affidavit in opposition filed by the Director of Elementary Education, As sam it is reflected that the case of the petitioner for compassionate appointmen t was placed for consideration before the District Level Committee (DLC) in the year 2004, 2007 and 2008 but his case was rejected by the DLC in their meeting(s ) held on 3.8.2004, 23.2.2007 and 31.10.2008 respectively. It is also averred th at since only 5% quota is available for appointment in the compassionate categor y, considering the limited number of posts available for Dhubri District, the pe titioner’s case could not be recommended by the DLC. Having regard to the fact that the petitioner’s case was considered by the DLC b y following the judgment of this Court in Achyut Ranjan Das vs. State of Assam r eported in 2006 (4) GLT 216, I see no scope for giving further direction for con sideration of the petitioner’s claim for compassionate appointment. Since considerable time has elapsed after the death of the petitioner’s father o n 17.7.1997, I feel that this case should now be closed. It is ordered according ly.
