Sinha, AAG.15 ----------- 2. 16.09.2011 This writ application for compassionate appointment has been filed by the son of the deceased, late Ajeet Kumar Tiwari, who had been working as Tube well mechanic in Public Health Engineering Department in Block Kushmandi, District Dakshin Dinajpur (West Bengal). It appears that the instant writ petition has been preferred before this Court on the basis of the petitioner’s place of residence at Kishanganj. This court is however of the view that merely because the petitioner is residing at Kishanganj, the writ petition would not be maintainable before this Court. In this view of the matter, this writ petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to approach the appropriate Court having jurisdiction in the matter, if so advised. Fahad.
