IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.15979 of 2006 Lallan Pd. Singh, S/O Late Sahdeo Singh, resident of village Chakmakhan, P.S. Kurhani, District- Muzaffarpur ……….. Petitioner Versus 1.The State Of Bihar through the District Magistrate, Samastipur 2.The Deputy Collector, Department of Establishment, Samastipur 3.The District Agriculture Officer, Samastipur 4.The Circle Officer, Bibhutipur Circle, District- Samastipur 5.The Block Development Officer, Bibhutipur, District- Samastipur ………… Respondents ----------- 2. 06/07/2010 Heard learned counsel for the parties. Father of the petitioner died on 4.2.1979. As per case of the petitioner, he was one year old at that time. Therefore, his mother submitted an application that the case for appointment of the petitioner on compassionate ground may be considered after he attains majority. After attaining majority, petitioner filed an application on 4.7.1998. Application apparently suffers from enormous delay. It would have been appropriate for his mother to apply for her appointment on compassionate ground immediately after the death of her husband and not to ask the authorities to wait for - 2 - the petitioner to attain majority. When the family has survived so long, it does not need any help from the respondents by way of compassionate appointment. The writ application is dismissed. Pradeep/ ( J. N. Singh, J.)
