IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.16165 of 2006 PRAMOD KUMAR @ PRAMOD KUMAR PASWAN,S/O SONELAL PASWAN, R/O VILLAGE-BAKAR, P.O- AJIJPUR CHAND, BLOCK& P.S.-PATEPUR, DISTRICT-VAISHALI. ………………PETITIONER. Versus 1.THE STATE OF BIHAR. 2.DISTRICT MAGISTRATE, VAISHALI AT HAJIPUR. 3.DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE, VAISHALI AT HAJIPUR. ………………………RESPONDENTS. ----------- 03/ 30.03.2011 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. Admittedly the petitioner claims appointment on compassionate ground, on the basis of his being grandson of late Paltan Paswan. Under the Government policy dated 05.10.1991, and reiterated thereafter as well, the category of the relatives of the deceased employee does not include a grandson and only the wife (widow), son, unmarried daughter and widow of the pre-deceased son, in the order of seniority have a right to be considered for appointment on compassionate ground. Since, the petitioner is not eligible for appointment on compassionate ground, he cannot be appointed on compassionate ground. That being so, this application is wholly misconceived and is accordingly dismissed. Ranjan (Mihir Kumar Jha,J)
