IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.144 of 2010 1. SHAIRA BANO D/O LATE MD. RAFI R/O MOH-BAIGNABAD, BIHARSHARIF, P.O/P.S- BIHARSHARIF, DISTT- NALANDA Versus 1. MAGADH UNIVERSITY BODH GAYA, THROUGH ITS REGISTRAR 2. THE VICE CHANCELLOR, MAGADH UNIVERSITY, BODH GAYA 3. THEREGISTRAR, MAGADH UNIVERSITY, BODH GAYA 4. THE PRINCIPAL NALANDA COLLECE, BIHAR SHARIF, DISTT- NALANDA ----------- 2 5.5.2010 Heard counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner’s father died on 5.10.1994, while still working as Peon, Nalanda College, Biharsharif. His grievance is that repeatedly he has filed his application for compassionate appointment in the years 1998, 1999 and 2000, till date there is no response from the respondents. It is also stated that no information has been supplied by the respondent authority even under Right to Information Act. I do not find that this is a fit case for compassionate appointment after more than twelve years. However, in case the petitioner’s application is still pending before the respondent authorities, they may inform the petitioner regarding the fate of his application, within a period of four weeks from the date 2 of production/communication of the order. The writ application stands disposed off. (Mridula Mishra,J.) A.Kumar
