(1) wp332-11 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO. 332 OF 2011 Arshad Arun Pinjari PETITIONER VERSUS The State of Maharashtra and others RESPONDENTS .... Mr. A.G. Talhar, advocate for the petitioner. Mr. B.V. Wagh, A.G.P. for the respondent/State. Mr. A.B. Girase, advocate for respondent No. 3. .... CORAM : D.B. BHOSALE & M.T. JOSHI, JJ. DATED : 28th MARCH, 2011 ORAL ORDER : 1. Heard learned counsel for the parties and learned A.G.P. for the respondent/State. 2. By this writ petition, the petitioner is seeking direction to respondent Nos. 4 to 7 to consider his claim for appointment on compassionate ground within time-frame. It appears that the petitioner had earlier filed Writ Petition No. 4691/2009 and that writ petition was disposed of vide order dated 14th July, 2010. We have perused the said order wherein the statement on affidavit made by (2) wp332-11 the Chief Officer was noted in the said order and direction was issued to consider the petitioner's claim for an appointment on compassionate ground in the light of the policy made by the State Government, as reflected in the Government Resolutions from time to time. The relevant statement of the Chief Officer made on affidavit reads thus : "(19) I say and submit that, the Municipal Council as well as the Municipal High School after considering the waiting list prepared in respect of compassionate appointment, will fill up the post in accordance with law and claim of the present petitioner will be also considered as per the seniority list." 3. The petitioner, in para 10 of the writ petition, has stated that he is at serial No. 3 in the waiting list. He has further stated that the candidate at serial No. 1 is not interested in the post which is available now and the candidate at serial No. 2 is age barred. We do not wish (3) wp332-11 to enter into the questions as to why the petitioner's claim for compassionate appointment has not been considered till this date, whether the candidates at serial Nos. 1 and 2 in the wait list are interested in the posts available, etc. We also do not wish to encourage such petition since the petition for similar relief was filed earlier and it was disposed of by this Court by issuing certain directions. Hence, the present writ petition is disposed of. However, this shall not preclude the petitioner from approaching the concerned Authority for considering his claim expeditiously. If the petitioner's claim in respect of the candidates at serial Nos. 1 and 2 is correct, he may approach to the concerned Authority by bringing some material on record to show that the candidates at serial Nos.1 and 2 are genuinely not interested in the posts available which can be filled in by compassionate appointments.
