IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.19380 of 2011 Geeta Devi W/O Shiv Shankar Paswan, D/O Kokil Paswan Resident Of Village-Kumaripur, P.S.-Manihari, District-Katihar. ………….. Petitioner Versus 1. The State Of Bihar. 2. The Chief Secretary, Government Of Bihar. 3. The District Magistrate, Katihar. 4. The District Welfare Officer, Katihar. 5. The Deputy Collector Establishment, Katihar. ……………….. Respondents ---------------------------------- 02. 01.12.2011 Since there is no policy or guidelines issued by the State Government to provide employment to a married daughter of an ex-employee, merely because she or her husband happens to be unemployed, the claim of the petitioner that she should be appointed on compassionate ground due to death of her father in harness is misplaced kind of submission. Right for compassionate appointment has to be based strictly in terms of the policy and the guidelines. Since there are no guidelines to reach out to such daughters, who is either unemployed or her husband is unemployed no relief can be granted. In view of the same, no mandamus or direction can be issued for appointing the petitioner on compassionate ground. The Writ is dismissed. SKM (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
