WP(C) 2583/2009 BEFORE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE HN SARMA Heard Mr. PK Talukdar, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing c ounsel, Education Department. The pleaded case of the petitioner interalia is that his father late Atoar Rehman died-in-harness while he was serving as a Head Teacher in Ch oto Barjana L.P. School in the District of Bongaigaon on 18.11.06. In terms of the existing policy of the Govt. providing for emplo yment to the sons/daughters/ near relatives of Govt. employee who died-in-harnes s, the petitioner submitted his application praying for appointment on compassio nate ground on 26.11.06 before the Deputy Inspector of Schools, North Salmara bu t the authority has not taken any steps for consideration of his case. However, in view of the letter dated 25.5.09 written by the Sub-Divisional Officer (S), B ongaigaon to the District Elementary Education Officer, Bongaigaon to the effect that the application received not exceeding two years period and also submitted within three months from the date of expiry of the service holder, his case sha ll be considered for appointment on compassionate ground. The learned counsel fo r the petitioner contends that his father having expired on 18.11.06 and having filed his application on 26.11.06 and thereafter the District Level Selection Committee not having assembled for their own inconvenience, the case of the peti tioner cannot be flouted for non-consideration within the aforesaid policy. The petitioner complied his obligation but the respondent authorities could not disc harge their duties and responsibilities. Accordingly, upon hearing the learned counsel for the parties an d taking note of the nature of dispute involved in this writ petition, I do not consider it fit for keeping the present writ petition pending for adjudication. Consequently, this writ petition stands disposed of with the direction that the Sub-Divisional Level Selection Committee shall consider the case of the petiti oner for appointment on compassionate ground on its own merit when such committe e sits for this purpose and the case of the petitioner shall not be rejected on the ground of two years from the date of expiry of his application. This disposes of the writ petition.
