IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.9681 of 2007 ASHISH KUMAR, S/O LATE SATYA NARAIN PRASAD, R/O RAJA SOR ROAD, MASSAL CHAK, BHAGALPUR,P.S.& DISTRICT-BHAGALPUR. ……………………PETITIONER. Versus 1.THE STATE OF BIHAR. 2.THE SPECIAL DIRECTOR, SECONDARY EDUCATION, GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, NEW SECRETARIAT, PATNA. 3.THE DISTRICT EDUCATION OFFICER, BHAGALPUR, P.S.& DISTRICT-BHAGALPUR. 4.C.M.S HIGH SCHOOL, ADAMPUR, P.S.- ADMAPUR, DISTRICT-BHAGALPUR THROUGH ITS SECRETARY. ………………………RESPONDENTS. ----------- 02/ 06.04.2011 Heard counsel for the parties. The claim of the petitioner for appointment on compassionate ground is based on his father being employed in a Private Missionary School. This Court must hold that this writ application is not maintainable, both on account of the fact that such Private Missionary School is not a State within the meaning of Article-12 of the Constitution of India as also the fact that the official respondent nos. 2 and 3 have got no control over the appointment of teaching and non-teaching personnel in such Private Missionary Schools. The scheme of compassionate appointment is only meant for the Government servant and their dependents. Admittedly the father of the petitioner was not a Government servant and thus not covered by the Government policy dated 05.10.1991. In that view of the matter, this application is wholly misconceived and is accordingly dismissed. Ranjan (Mihir Kumar Jha,J)
