IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2847 of 2007 Lalan Sharma @ Lalan Kumar Singh, son of Late Shri Aydohya Prasad Singh @ Yodha Singh, Resident of Village Chechaul, P.S. Naubatpur, District Patna. ---------- Petitioner Versus 1. The State of Bihar. 2. The Chief Engineer Public Health Engineering Department, Patna, Bihar. 3. The Superintendent Engineer, Bihar State Water Board (Vishwas Board), Bihar, Patna. 4. The Executive Engineer, Bihar State Water Board (Vishwas Board), Kankarbagh Works, Division, Patna. --------- Respondents ----------- 2 01.04.2011 Having heard learned counsel for the parties and taking into account that the petitioner’s case for compassionate appointment has been considered and rejected on the ground that the authorities were not satisfied with regard to the so-called adoption of the petitioner by the deceased employee, this Court would find expedient in the ends of justice to give liberty to the petitioner to file a civil suit before a competent court seeking declaration to the effect that he was the adopted son of the deceased employee and that he should be appointed on compassionate ground in view of the State Government policy adopted by the Corporation. It is, however, made clear that in 2 such civil suit, the petitioner will have to implead these respondents including Bihar Raj Jal Parishad, the employer of the deceased employee on whose death in harness, the petitioner is claiming appointment on compassionate ground. It is also made clear that in the event such a civil suit is allowed in favour of the petitioner, the respondents will not take an objection regarding delay in the matter of compassionate appointment, inasmuch as, the petitioner has remained conscious to his right and has moved this Court not only in this writ application but even in earlier writ application, CWJC No. 8271 of 2005. With the aforementioned observations and liberty, this application is disposed of. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
