WP(C) 507/2011 BEFORE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE B.K. SHARMA.. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has prayed for a directio n to the respondents to consider his case for appointment on compassionate groun d. The prayer so made is on account of purported retirement of his father from s ervice on medical ground. In this connection, the petitioner has referred to Ann exure-2 order dated 13.12.2001 allowing the father of the petitioner to go on re tirement with invalid pension. By Annexure-1 medical certificate dated 16.10.200 1, the Joint Director of Health Services, Darrang had certified that the petitio ner’s age as per his own statement was 59 years and that he was not physically f it to continue in his service. Thus, as per own declaration made by the petition er, he was to retire from service even otherwise also. Be that as it may, as ha s been held by the Division Bench of this Court in Afruja Sakia Yasmin Ahmed v. District and Sessions Judge, Golaghat & Ors) reported in (2008) 4 GLT 140, the c ompassionate appointment on ground of medical invalidation will be violative of Article 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India. In this connection, the decision of the Apex Court in (1994) 1 SCC 192 (Auditor General of India & Ors v. G. Ana nta Rajeswara Rao) is also referred to above. In view of the above, no relief can be granted to the petitioner and acc ordingly, the writ petition is dismissed.
