No. 12147 of 2006. Patna High Court LPA No.1177 of 2011 (3) dt.25-10-2011 2 / 2 2 The appellant, son of one Shiv Shankar Paswan, seeks compassionate employment in the government service on the premise that his father late Shiv Shankar Paswan was an employee of the District Rural Development Agency, Vaishali and that he passed away in harness on 23rd August 2005. The request of compassionate employment has been turned down on the premise that the District Rural Development Agency is an autonomous body and that the scheme for compassionate employment made by the State Government does not apply to the said Agency nor the said Agency has framed or adopted any scheme for compassionate employment. Challenge to denial of compassionate employment has failed before the learned single Judge. Therefore, the present Appeal. Learned advocate Mrs. Alka Verma has appeared for the appellant. She has strenuously urged that there are instances where the wards/dependants of the deceased employees of the District Rural Development Agencies have been granted compassionate employment. We see no substance in this Appeal. The allegation of discrimination is not substantiated by documentary evidence. No case for interference is made out. Appeal is dismissed in limine. Pawan/- (R.M.
