IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.8486 of 2007 NIRANJAN KUMAR,S/O LATE NITYA NAND SINGH, R/O VILLAGE-RAMPUR, P.S. SURAJGARHA, DISTRICT-LAKHISARAI. …………………PETITIONER. Versus 1.THE STATE OF BIHAR. 2.THE DIRECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, OLD SECRETARIAT PATNA. 3.THE SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE, LAKHISARAI. 4.THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE, LAKHISARAI. 5.THE OFFICER-IN-CHARGE SURAJGARHA POLICE STATION, LAKHISARAI. …………………RESPONDENTS. ----------- 02/ 05.04.2011 No one appears for the petitioner. Counsel for the State is present and would submit that the claim of the petitioner for appointment on compassionate ground, on the basis of his being adopted son of the deceased employee is untenable since there was no registered document showing such adoption which could have led to an automatic presumption of such adoption. He would further submit that the service of the father of the petitioner was never regularized and in fact he was an adhoc employee. To that extent, he would also draw the attention of this Court to the fact that the father of the petitioner had also filed C.W.J.C NO. 410 of 2000, seeking regularization of his service but had died even before the disposal of the said case rendering his writ application to have become infructuous. All these reasons independently and collectively would disentitle the petitioner for being appointed on compassionate ground. In that view of the matter, this application is without any merit and is accordingly dismissed. Ranjan (Mihir Kumar Jha,J)
