IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.6976 of 2009 Sony Kumari d/o late Nageshwar Jha, r/o village – Mohammadpur, P.O. & P.S. Amarpur, District – Banka … Petitioner Versus 1. The Union Of India through the General Manager, Railway (GM) Railway at Hawarah 2. The Divisional Railway Manager (DRM), Malda Division, Malda Eastern Railway 3. The Welfare Inspector Malda Railway Division, Malda 4. The Senior Personnel Officer, Malda, Eastern Railway, Malda ……………. Respondents ----------- For the petitioner: Mr. Sharda Nand Mishra, Advocate For the respondents: Ms. Parul Ranjan, Advocate 2 12/8/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the railways. It is not necessary for us to go into merits of various submissions advanced on behalf of the petitioner in view of admitted fact that the concerned railway employee died in harness on 30.8.1993. At that time, the petitioner was 9 years old child. After marriage etc., she applied before the concerned authority for compassionate appointment. The claim for compassionate appointment has been rejected and, in our view, rightly because she is already married and she approached the Central 2 Administrative Tribunal for getting relief by way of compassionate appointment after 12 years of death of the concerned employee, who was her father. In the facts of the case, we find no justification to interfere in the matter. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed. Neyaz/ (Shiva Kirti Singh, ACJ.) (Anjana Prakash, J.)
