IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No 10665 of 2006 Rajesh Kumar Rai, son of late Beni Rai, resident of Mohalla – Belwarganj, P S – Alamganj, District – Patna - Petitioner Versus 1 The State of Bihar 2 Secretary –cum- Commissioner, Department of Human Resources, Bihar, Patna 3 Director, Primary Education, Bihar, Patna 4 District Superintendent of Education, Patna 5 Collector, Patna 6 Compassionate Appointment Committee through its Collector, Patna - Respondents ----------- 4 28.03.2011 Having heard Shri Yogesh Chandra Verma, learned Senior Counsel, for the reasons stated, I do not find any merit in this writ petition which is dismissed. Petitioner claims to have applied for compassionate appointment on the death of his mother, father having pre-deceased, in Government service. The application is said to have been made in 1982 in support whereof there are letters from the Government. This is disputed by the State on the ground that as per the age as declared by the petitioner himself, in 1982 when he applied, he was about 15 years old only. He could, thus, have not applied. His genuine application, for the first time, came to be filed in the year, 2002. Petitioner states that in between, he has been representing to the authorities. Petitioner seeks compassionate appointment in place of his mother who died in the year, 1982. Compassionate appointment, as has been repeatedly held by Courts, is an extraordinary appointment to be made immediately to tide 2 over the crisis set in the family because of the death of the bread earner in harness and not to be used as a right to be exercised even after 30 years of the accrual of the cause. These are the reasons for not interfering in the matter. M.E.H./ (Navaniti Prasad Singh)
