IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA LPA No.291 of 2010 Mritunjay Kumar s/o late Baijnath Mahto, r/o Village/Mohalla – Kankarbagh, Qr. No.148 (Salam Area) P.S. Kankarbagh, Patna …….. Appellant Versus 1. The State Of Bihar 2. District Compassionate Committee, through its Chairman, District – Patna 3. The Director, Employment and Training Department, Govt. of Bihar, 4. The Principal Secretary, Resources Department, Govt. of Bihar, Patna 5. The District Magistrate, Patna …… Respondents ----------- For the appellant: Mr. Tajendra Sinha, Advocate --- 2 15/2/2010 IA. No.1450 of 2010 This is an application for condonation of delay of 57 days . Regard being had to the facts and circumstances of the case, the delay in filing the appeal stands condoned. Interlocutory application stands allowed. LPA. No.291 of 2010 As we have condoned the delay, we think it apt to advert to the merits of the case. On a perusal of the order impugned passed by the learned Single Judge on 7.11.2009 in CWJC. 2 No.11778 of 2008, it is perceptible that a claim for compassionate appointment was rejected by the competent authority on 11.10.2003. The said order of rejection was not challenged before this court and thereafter on the second occasion the claim for compassionate appointment was put forth which was negatived on 24.2.2008. The learned Single Judge adverting to the said fact has dismissed the writ petition on the foundation that the earlier order of rejection has attained finality and afresh application was not tenable. In our considered opinion, the view expressed by the learned Single Judge is flawless and we concur with the same. In the result, the appeal, being devoid of merit, stands dismissed in limine.
