IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.9032 of 2006 SURENDRA KUMAR, S/O LATE SHEO MURAT AMBEDKAR, R/O VILLAGE KURRA, P.S. MOHANIA, DISTRICT KAIMUR AT BHABHUA. ..............PETITIONER. Versus 1.THE STATE OF BIHAR. 2.THE SECRETARY, PRIMARY EDUCATION, GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, NEW SECRETARIATE, BAILEY ROAD, PATNA. 3.THE REGIONAL DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION, BESIDE MILLAR SCHOOL, NEAR HIGH COURT, PATNA. 4.THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE, KAIMUR, BHABHUA. 5.THE DISTRICT EDUCATION OFFICER, ROHTAS AT SASARAM. 6.THE DISTRICT EDUCATION OFFICER, KAIMUR AT BHABHUA. 7.THE HEAD-MASTER, BASAHI BASAWAN HIGH SCHOOL, KAIMUR. .............RESPONDENTS. ----------- 03/ 27.06.2011 Having heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State as with regard to the solitary relief prayed in this writ application pertaining to the appointment of the petitioner on compassionate ground, this Court would find the same to be wholly impermissible, inasmuch as, the petitioner was minor on the date of death of his father being aged about three years and could not become major in the period of limitation as prescribed in the Government policy of compassionate appointment dated 14.07.1977, requiring such 2 application to be filed within a period of two years from the date of death of the deceased employee. In fact the petitioner's date of birth is 23.02.1983 and the date of death of his father being 08.09.1986, so he could not have been appointed on compassionate ground, as law in this regard has been laid down by a Division Bench of this Court in the case of Anil Kumar Singh vs The State of Bihar & ors, reported in 1993(1) PLJR 414. In that view of the matter, this writ application filed by the petitioner seeking actually to raise the cause of action of the year 1986 is wholly misconceived and is accordingly dismissed.
