IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.12300 of 2007 ASHOK KUMAR JHA, S/O LATE RAMA KANT JHA, R/O VILLAGE-KAITHAHI WESTERN TOLA, P.S.RAJ NAGAR, DISTRIRCT-MADHUBANI. ……………………PETITIONER. Versus 1.THE STATE OF BIHAR. 2.THE COMMISSIONER CUM SECRETARY, RURAL ENGINEERING ORGANISATION, PATNA. 3.THE CHIEF ENGINEER, DEPARTMENT OF RURAL ENGINEERING ORGANISATION, DARBHANGA. 4.THE CHIEF ENGINEER, ROAD CONSTRUCTION DEPARTMENT, BISWASARAIYA BHAWAN, PATNA. 5.THE EXECUTIVE ENGINEER, DEPARTMENT OF RURAL ENGINEERING WORKS DIVISION, MADHUBANI. 6.ASSISTANT ENGINEER, RURAL ENGINEERING ORGANISATION, SUB-DIVISION, JAI NAGAR, MADHUBANI. ……………………RESPONDENTS. ----------- 02/ 08.04.2011 No one appears for the petitioner. Counsel for the State is present. From perusal of the writ application it would be clear that the petitioner was Work-charge employee. In view of the fact workcharge employee does not hold a sanctioned post, which is the bare minimum of the requirement of the Government policy dated 05.10.1991, this Court must hold that the claim of the petitioner seeking appointment on compassionate ground is wholly misconceived and in fact is in teeth of the Government policy. This aspect of the matter has been decided by the Division Bench of this Court in the case of Dilip Kumar Bhattacharaya vs The State of Bihar reported in 2004(4) PLJR 889, wherein it has been held that the dependents of work charge employee cannot be appointed on compassionate ground. That being so, this application is wholly misconceived and is, accordingly, dismissed. Ranjan (Mihir Kumar Jha,J)
