IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.137 of 2006 SHARDA KUMARI DAUGHTER OF LATE SHIVNATH CHOUDHARY WIFE OF SRI RAM ISHWAR RAI, RESIDNET OF MOHALLA MAJHAULIA, P.S. SADAR DISTRICT MUZAFFARPUR. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE SECRETARY, NATIONAL SAVING HUMAN DEPARTMENT, BIHAR, PATNA. 3. THE DIRECTOR NATIONAL SAVING DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE, BIHAR, PATNA. 4. THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR, NATIONAL SAVING SARAN DIVISION AT CHAPRA. 5. THE DISTRICT COMPASSIONATE APPOINTMENT COMMITTEE THROUGH ITS CHAIRMAN, DISTRICT GOPALGANJ. 6. THE EXECUTIVE OFFICER, NATIONAL SAVING, GOPALGANJ. ----------- 4 27/09/2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. Petitioner’s claim is based on the fact that she is the sole daughter of the deceased employee who died in harness and, therefore, she ought to be appointed on compassionate ground after the death of her father. As per the stand taken in the counter affidavit, case of the petitioner was considered by the District Compassionate Committee but since the policy for compassionate appointment does not envisage making any appointment on compassion of a married daughter, - 2 - her claim was rejected way back in the year 2001 itself. Since the claim of the petitioner is based on the policy of compassionate appointment and has no special right under the Constitution, the Circular is very clear that a married daughter does not have a right or claim for appointment on compassionate ground, no case is made out for interference with the order of rejection as well as giving a direction to consider her case for appointment on compassionate ground as the petitioner admittedly was married in the year 1995 before the date of death of the employee concerned. This fact was not denied. This writ application being devoid of merit is dismissed. AMIN/ (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
