IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.14644 of 2006 VIKRANT KUMAR SINGH, son of late Sanjay Kumar Singh, aged about 24 years, resident of village Kurthaul, P.O. Kurthaul, P.S.Parsa Bazar, District Patna-petitioner Versus 1.THE STATE OF BIHAR through the Commissioner-cum- Secretary, Food Supply and Commerce Department, Bihar Patna 2.The Managing Director, State Food Corporation, Sone Bhawan, Virchand Patel Path, Patna 3.The District Manager, State Food Corporation Gaya----------------------------------------respondents ----------- For the petitioner :Mr.Shashi Kumar Pandey,Advocate For the Corporation :Mr.Amrendra Nr.Rai,Advocate For the State :Mr.Mahesh Prasad, S.C.8 ----- 2. 25.3.2010 The petitioner seeks appointment on compassionate ground after the death of his father, who died in harness on 14.2.2005, while he was posted as Assistant Godown Manager under District Manager, Bihar State Food Corporation, Gaya. In the counter affidavit and supplementary counter affidavit the stand taken on behalf of the respondent Corporation is that the claim of the petitioner was rejected on 31.10.2006 on the ground that there is no provision for appointment on compassionate ground in the Corporation. It, however, appears that the said order has not been communicated to the petitioner as it is in the nature of internal communication from the Corporation’s headquarters to the District Managers. However, the further stand is that in a similar matter this Court after considering the submission 2 of learned counsel for the Corporation that the financial condition of the Corporation has deteriorated to such an extent that no compassionate appointments or any new appointments are made therein, has been pleased to hold that no direction can be given to the respondent Corporation to make appointment on compassionate ground. In view of the aforesaid categorical stand on account of the financial condition of the Corporation and considering the order of this Court dated 11.2.2009 passed in C.W.J.C.No. 6259 of 2006 in a similar matter, this Court is of the view that no such direction can be given to the respondent Corporation to make appointment on compassionate ground. However, as prayed for by learned counsel for the petitioner, if the financial condition of the Corporation improves and in the future it is decided to make appointment on compassionate ground then the claim of the petitioner may also be considered in accordance with law. The writ application is, accordingly, disposed of in terms of the aforesaid direction. (Ramesh Kumar Datta,J.) Spal/
