SECRETARY, PERSONNEL AND ADMINISTRATIVE REFORMS DEPARTMENT BIHAR, PATNA ----------- 02/ 28.06.2010 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel appearing for the State. Petitioner has filed this application for setting aside the resolution of the District Compassionate Committee, Sitamarhi dated 9.9.2009, whereby the application filed by the petitioner for compassionate appointment has been rejected. Petitioner claims himself to be adopted son of late Mohan Sah, who died in harness while working on the post of S.I. Petitioner filed this application for compassionate appointment stating that subsequent of death of Mohan Sah he filed Title Suit No. 18 of 2007 for declaring him an adopted son of Late Mohan Sah and his wife Kanti Devi. The suit was decreed in terms of compromise declaring him - 2 - an adopted son of Late Mohan Sah and his widow Kanti Devi. Petitioner’s grievance is that the District Compassionate Committee without considering document relating to his adoption by the deceased employee has rejected his claim, on the nonest ground that no document in support of claim of being adopted son of Late Mohan Sah was produced. His entitlement for compassionate appointment has erroneously been rejected in terms of the notification of Personnel and Administrative Reforms Department. After some arguments, counsel for the petitioner seeks permission to withdraw this application for pursuing other remedy available to him. He has liberty to pursue his case. This application is dismissed as withdrawn. DKS/ (Mridula Mishra, J.)
