IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.12185 of 2005 SUMAN KUMAR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 3. 4.8.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner seeks a direction upon the respondents to appoint him on compassionate ground. The admitted fact in this case is that the petitioner’s father, Shatrudhan Kumar Singh, at the time of his death on 17.11.2003 was working in a Work Charged Establishment. It is stated by learned counsel for the petitioner that the service book of the petitioner’s father had been sent by the Executive Engineer in the year, 1993 for the purpose of his regularization but his service was not regularized till the date of his death ( 17.11.2003). The stand of the State in the impugned order as also the counter- affidavit is that in terms of the Finance Department Circular No. 1393 dated 31.5.2004, the dependent of a person working in the Work Charged Establishment cannot be given the benefit of compassionate appointment. Learned counsel for the petitioner was unable to point out any statutory rules or Executive instructions on the basis of which such a benefit can be granted to the Work Charged employee. In the aforesaid circumstances, this Court does not find any merit in the writ application and it is, accordingly, dismissed. VPS ( Ramesh Kumar Datta,J.)
