IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.6337 of 2009 MOST SHAIYAD KHATUN Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2. 20.05.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The husband of the petitioner was deceased in harness on 12.12.2008. It is the case of the petitioner that she has six minor children and applied for compassionate appointment on 30.12.2008. In the life time of the husband, she had certain differences leading to a prosecution under Section 498 A of the Penal Code by her, which also was compromised between them. The mother-in-law of the petitioner was obstructing consideration by filing frivolous application for consideration of the sister of the deceased for compassionate appointment. Learned counsel for the State fairly acknowledged that sister of the deceased was not one of the person eligible for consideration. The Respondents are directed to consider the application for compassionate appointment of the petitioner strictly in accordance with the guidelines regulating the same and take appropriate decision in accordance with law within eight weeks from the date of receipt and/or production of a copy of this order. The writ application stands allowed. AKS/ (Navin Sinha, J.)
