WP(C) 4677/2009 BEFORE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE AMITAVA ROY Heard Mr. R. Dutta, learned Counsel for the petitioner and Ms. A . Verma, learned Standing Counsel, Finance Department. Also heard Mr. Ghosh, lea rned State Counsel. Considering the nature of the grievance expressed and the litiga tional background, this petition is being disposed of at the motion stage. Brief ly stated the petitioner’s case is that his brother Krishna Paul (since deceased ) fell to the bullets of the extremists on 27/10/1996. The deceased being the so le bread earner of the family, the petitioner approached the concerned authority for his appointment under the then Assam Public Services (Appointment of Family Member’s killed by extrimist/terrorist) Rules, 1992 (hereafter referred to as t he Rules) for its rehabilitation. As nothing materialised in this regard, he app roached this Court with WP(C) 2804/2001. This Court by judgment and order dated 31/1/2002 disposed of the said writ petition with a direction to the State respo ndents to consider the petitioner’s case for appointment against a suitable post according to his qualification as early as possible and preferably within a per iod of three months from that date. Thereafter, the Deputy Secretary to the Gove rnment of Assam, Finance (Estt.-B) Department by letter No. PEE.35/2002/19 dated 10/5/2002 required the Deputy Commissioner, Darrang, Assam, to provide certain informations so as to effectuate the proposal for appointment of the petitioner. He is before this Court with the grievance that thereafter no step has been tak en and the family is languishing in distress. Upon hearing the learned Counsel for the parties and on a consid eration of the documents annexed to the petition, this proceeding stands closed with a direction to the official respondents more particularly the Deputy Commis sioner, Darrang, and the Commissioner and Secretary to the Government of Assam, Finance (Estt.) Department, to cause necessary steps to be taken for a decision on the petitioner’s claim for appointment as above. Needless to say that while p rocessing the matter, the concerned authorities would bear in mind the direction s contained in the judgment and order dated 31/1/2002 passed in WP(C) 2804/2001. As the petitioner waits in expectation and the appointment to be provided to hi m would be a succour to the family, the authorities, in view of the delay, would now complete the process finally within a period of three weeks herefrom. A copy of the order be furnished to Ms. A. Verma so as to enable her to do the needful. Petition stands disposed in the above terms. No costs.
