IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.12947 of 2009 RANI DEVI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2/ 08-10-2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The claim in this writ application by the married daughter of the deceased employee is for compassionate appointment. This Court finds no reason to interfere with the impugned order dated 27.08.2007 which states in explicit terms that a married daughter did not come within the purview of the policy for compassionate appointment. Judicial pronouncements on compassionate appointment clearly hold that a compassionate appointment is an exception to the normal rule mode of competitive selection and appointment prescribed under Article 14 of the Constitution of Indian. An appointment on compassionate ground making an inroad to the same can only be in adherence to the policy only. If the policy prohibits consideration of the case of a person like the petitioner, no order can be passed by this Court to consider the same. The writ petition is dismissed.
