IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.6242 of 2006 Sunil Kumar Karn, son of late Krishna Deo Lal Das, resident of village Karhara, P.S. Bheja, District Madhubani … Petitioner Versus 1. The State Of Bihar 2. The Collector, Madhubani 3. The District Compassionate Committee, Madhubani, through its Chairman, the Collector of the District Madhubani 4. The District Superintendent of Education, Madhubani … Respondents ----------- 6. 4.7.2011 Mr. U.K.Choudhary, learned counsel for the petitioner appears and says that he has got no instruction to press this application. Even otherwise this Court would find that the matter arises out of a 1996 death of the father of the petitioner. The compassionate appointment after a period of 15 years of the death is not permissible in law, especially when there is also serious dispute as with regard to receipt of the application of the petitioner, inasmuch as this Court by an order dated 24.2.2009 directed the counsel for the petitioner to bring on record the application for compassionate appointment which was filed by the petitioner and also received in the office of the competent authority. No such application however has been brought on record by the petitioner till date and 2 therefore, the stand taken by the respondents as with regard to denial of appointment of the petitioner cannot be questioned by this Court. It has to be noted that an application was filed by the brother of the petitioner, Dinesh Kumar Karn, for his appointment on compassionate ground and there being some sort of dispute in the family when an alleged compromise was arrived in the light of No Objection Certificate given by the petitioner and other family members its verification could not be made by the Collector of the District because the petitioner and his brother did not appear to him to support the fact. It would, thus, be clear that there was actually no application filed by the petitioner himself and the application which was under consideration before the authority was that of his brother Dinesh Kumar Karn. In that view of the matter, the petitioner cannot claim his own appointment on compassionate ground in absence of an application filed by him for his own appointment. Moreover Dinesh Kumar Karn, the 3 brother of the petitioner is not the petitioner before this Court seeking his appointment on compassionate ground. That being so, this application is wholly misconceived and is, accordingly, dismissed. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
