The Headmaster, Govt. of Girls Middle School, Mohinddin Nagar, District- Samastipur. … Respondents. ----------- 2. 01.04.2011 Having heard learned counsel for the parties as also taking into account that the claim of the petitioner for appointment on compassionate ground cannot be decided by the respondents inasmuch as two persons were/are claiming to be adopted sons of the deceased employee, late Parmeshwari Devi who is said to have died on 18.9.2001, this Court would give liberty to the petitioner to file a civil suit seeking a declaration that he is the adopted son of late Parmeshwari Devi and the other person, namely, Santosh Kumar Gupta was never adopted by late Parmeshwari Devi. It goes without saying that since such a 2 civil suit is to be filed for the purpose of obtaining compassionate appointment, the petitioner will also be under obligation to implead the respondents of this case as defendants in the suit where he can additionally also seek a relief for his appointment on compassionate ground as per government policy after he is held to be sole adopted son of late Parmeshwari Devi by the Civil Court. With the aforementioned observation and liberty, this writ application is disposed of. kanchan/- ( Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
