IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2876 of 2011 Ravi Kant Kumar SON OF LATE INDRADEO RAM RESIDENT OF MOHALLA MAHAJANTOLI, P.O. HAJIPUR, DISTRICT VAISHALI Versus 1. The State Of Bihar 2. THE DISTRICT JUDGE (ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE), VAISHALI AT HAJIPUR. ----------- 2 06/07/2011 Petitioner was a claimant for appointment on compassionate ground after the death of his father in 2008 who died in harness.Petitioner’s father was working under the District Judge, Vaishali. An application for appointment was made. Annexure-5 dated 11.05.2010 is the decision communicated to the petitioner stating that his claim has been rejected by the competent body. The High Court has been deprecating passing of such orders by other executive authorities on the ground that if the reasons are not indicated in the order, then any authority sitting in review of such order has no mechanism to read into the mind of the decision maker. But if the same thing is done by a Judicial Officer, then surely the Court cannot absolve him from the responsibility of passing a speaking order. Annexure-5 dated 11.05.2010 is quashed. - 2 - Direction is issued to the District Judge, Vaishali at Hajipur that he shall now pass a fresh order laying down the ground for rejection of the claim of the petitioner. This must be done within a period of six weeks from the date of production or communication of a copy of this order. This writ application is disposed of with the direction aforesaid.
