IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.887 of 2011 Md.Jamaluddin Mansuri, son of Md. Bardrish Mansuri, resident of village Koath, Police Station- Dawath, District- Rohtas …………………………………..Petitioner Versus 1 The State Of Bihar 2 The District Magistrate, Rohtas at Sasaram. 3 The District Education Superintendent, Rohtas at Sasaram 4 The principal of Urdu Middle School, Koath, District-Rohtas at Sasaram……………………….. Respondents ----------- 2. 28.7.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner seeks appointment on compassionate ground after quashing the order dated 21.10.2000 passed by the District Compassionate Appointment Committee. By the aforesaid decision in the proceedings dated 21.10.2000, it was held by the District Compassionate Appointment Committee that the petitioner is a grandson of the deceased employee and although all the sons of the deceased employee have given their consent in favour of the petitioner but there being no provision for appointment of a grandson on compassionate ground and further the matter being barred by time, the application was rejected. This Court does not find any reason for interfere with the impugned order dated 21.10.2000 passed by the District Compassionate Appointment Committee. Not only the 2 grandfather of the petitioner died on 20.8.1983 which makes the matter 28 years old in which circumstance, no such direction for compassionate appointment can be given in terms of the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Umesh Kumar Nagpal.v. The State of Haryana and others : (1994) 4 S.C.C. 138 but apart from the same, the appointment on compassionate ground can only be made in terms of the applicable Government Circular in the Case. Under the Circular dated 5.10.1991 of the Personnel and Administrative Reforms Department, only four categories of persons are entitled to compassionate appointment, namely, the widow, son, unmarried daughter and widow of a son. Thus, the grandson, in terms of the said Circular, cannot be given appointment on compassionate ground. In the above circumstances, there is no merit in the writ petition and it is, accordingly, dismissed. VPS ( Ramesh Kumar Datta, J. )
