THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH THE PRINCIPAL SECRETARY HUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT DEPTT., GOVT. OF BIHAR, PATNA 2. THE REGIONAL DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION PURNEA DIVISION, PURNEA. ………… RESPONDENTS ----------- 6. 26/11/2010 It is not disputed that the names of the four petitioners were considered by the District Compassionate Committee for their appointment on compassionate grounds, and finding their cases genuine, they were recommended for appointment against Class III posts. Grievance of the petitioners is that inspite of recommendations of the District Compassionate Committee, as evident from Annexures-3 and 4, appointment letters have not been issued to the petitioners. Learned senior counsel for the petitioners submits that regular post of clerks is still vacant in the divisional cadre in Purnea Division. 2 Learned counsel for the respondents submits that as per judgment of the Division Bench reported in 2010(3) PLJR 294, now, compassionate appointments can be made only against post of Panchayat Teachers as the petitioners are heirs and legal representatives of teachers. Learned senior counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners can be appointed against the post of teachers only if they have qualifications for the same, otherwise, they have to be appointed in the cadre post of clerk in Class III in the Divisional Cadre. Be that as it may, since the grievance of the petitioners is that they have not been issued appointment letters pursuant to the recommendations of the District Compassionate Committee, respondent no.2 the Regional Deputy Director of Education, Purnea Division, Purnea is directed to ensure issue of appointment letters to the petitioners in terms of the recommendations of the District Compassionate Committee preferably within a period of two months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. 3 The writ application is disposed of with the aforesaid observations and directions.
