Executive Engineer, Advance Planning, Area Surveying Division, Boring Canal Road, Patna … Respondents ----------- 2. 15.4.2011 No one appears for the petitioner. Counsel for the State is present and would submit that the claim and the case of the petitioner for appointment on compassionate ground was duly considered by the District Compassionate Appointment Committee which by its resolution dated 29.6.2010 had rejected such case of the petitioner on the following grounds: Jherh 'kgukt csxe] f}rh; iRuh Lo0 vyh vgen] vkns'kiky] {ks= losZ{k.k izeaMy] vfxze ;kstuk] iFk fuekZ.k foHkkx] iVukA e`R;q dh frfFk&22-2-91 lsok&LFkk;hA f}rh; oxZ mRrh.kZ vkosfndk ds vuqdaikRed fu;qfDr gsrq izkIr izLrko esa layXu dkxtkr dks ns[kk x;kA vkosfndk dk vkosnu i= izLrko eq[; vfHk;ark vfxze ;kstuk mi Hkkx] iFk fuekZ.k foHkkx] iVuk ds i=kad&14 fnukad 15-1-10 }kjk Lo0 vgen dh e`R;q frfFk 22-9-91 ds ckn 18 o"kZ 03 ekg ds ckn izkIr gqvk gSA dkfeZd ,oa iz'kklfud lq/kkj foHkkx lEizfr lkekU; iz'kklu fcgkj] iVuk ds i=kad 2822 fnukad 27-4-95 ds 2 vuqlkj e`rd dh e`R;q dh frfFk ls 5 o"kZ ds vUnj vkosnu i= lefiZr djus dk le; lhek fu/kkZfjr gSA mDr vkyksd esa vkosfndk ds vkosnu i= dky ckf/kr gSA dkfeZd ,oa iz'kklfud lq/kkj foHkkx lEizfr lkekU; iz'kklu fcgkj] iVuk ds i=kad 3577 fnukad 25-4-97 ,oa 7808 fnukad 23-9-02 ds vuqlkj prqFkZoxhZ; inksa ij fu;qfDr gsrq U;wure 'kS{kf.kd ;ksX;rk v"Ve oxZ mRrhZ.k gSA mDr vkyksd esa vkosfndk 'kS{kf.kd vgZrk ugha j[krh gSA dkfeZd ,oa iz'kklfud lq/kkj foHkkx lEizfr lkekU; iz'kklu fcgkj iVuk ds i=kad 937 fnukad 23-6-05 ds vuqlkj fdlh Hkh ljdkjh lsod dks igyh iRuh@ifr ds thfor jgrs nwljh iRuh@ifr ls fookg djus vFkok fookg ds fy, bdjkj djus ds iwoZ foHkkx ls vuqKk izkIr djuk vko';d gSA vU;Fkk ,slh nwljh iRuh@ifr ;k muls mRiUu larku dks ljdkjh dehZ ds e`R;q ds I'pkr mUgsa vuqdaik dk ykHk ns; ugha gSA e`rd Lo0 vgen igyh iRuh ds thfor jgrs nwljh iRuh ls fookg fd;k gS ds laca/k esa foHkkxh; vuqKk i= vizkIr gSA mDr vkyksd esa vkosfndk fu;qfDr gsrq vgZrk ugha j[krh gSA lfefr }kjk loZlEefr ls vkosfndk ds vkosnu i= dks vLohd`r djus dk fu.kZ; fy;k x;kA 3 This Court on perusal of such consideration would be satisfied that the delay itself of more than 18 years in filing of the application by the petitioner was sufficient for rejection of her case, inasmuch as the period of limitation was only five years and therefore, the application on compassionate ground could have been filed only till 21.9.1996. This Court would also find that when the petitioner did not fulfil even the minimum requisite qualification of having passed Class VIII examination, she was not even eligible for appointment on any post, the lowest of them being a Class IV post. Thus, without expressing any opinion on the third and last ground as with regard to the petitioner being the second wife, permitted under Personal Law of a Muslim employee, this Court would find that the two grounds of petitioner being ineligible and not filing her application within the prescribed period was itself good enough for rejection of case of the petitioner. 4 That being so, this application is wholly misconceived and is, accordingly, dismissed.
