IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARANCHAL AT NAINITAL Civil Misc. Writ Petition No. 677 (S/S) of 2001 (Old No. 27163 of 1998) Lalit Mohan and 11 others ……… Petitioner Versus State of Uttar Pradesh & 4 Ors. ……… Respondents ……………………. Hon’ble P.C.Verma,J. Heard Sri L.P. Naithani, learned Senior Advocate on behalf of the petitioners and Learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. This petition has been filed by the petitioners seeking writ of mandamus to command the respondents to consider their case for appointment on compassionate ground for the reason that their land has been acquired for the purposes of establishment of the office of Electricity Board. The Government has issued a Government order for providing job to one of the family members whose land has been acquired. There was an agreement between the land owners and the Electricity Board to this effect. The family member whose land has been acquired cannot claim the appointment on the compassionate ground for the reason that after the acquisition of the land, the compensation is paid at the market value to the landholder. So far as Government orders are concerned, there is no Government Order on record to substantiate this submission. However, if there is any agreement or the Government Order, the petitioners shall make an application to the State Government alongwith the said agreement or the Government Order and State Government shall consider the case of the petitioners in terms of the Government Order and agreement within a period of one month from the date of production of certified copy of this order. With the aforesaid observations, the petition is disposed of finally. (P.C.Verma,J. ) 29.08.2003 P.Singh
