WP(C) 6551/2010 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE HRISHIKESH ROY The petitioner whose husband died on 4.12.2008 and whose claim for compassionate appointment was rejected by the District Level Committee through its deliberati ons on 3.7.2009 on the ground that the application was filed beyond 3 months fro m the death of the Government employee has approached this Court seeking appropr iate direction in the matter. It is contended by Mr. G.P. Bhowmik, learned counsel that the applicatio n filed by the petitioner was within time and could not have been rejected as 12 months time after death is now available to apply for compassionate appointment , by virtue of the judgment of this Court in Faziron Nessa vs. State of Assam re ported in 2010 (4) GLT 340. Mr. B.J. Ghosh, learned Government Advocate concedes that an application filed within 3 months of death can’t be considered a delayed application, in vi ew of the Court’s decision in Faziron Nessa (Supra). In view of above, this petition is disposed of by interfering with the d ecision of the District Level Committee as communicated by Memo. No. E/6071-87 d ated 24.8.2009 of the Superintendent of Police, Dibrugarh (Annexure F). The resp ondents are accordingly directed to ensure a fresh consideration of the applicat ion for compassionate appointment made by the petitioner in the next meeting of the competent authorities. The writ petition stands allowed accordingly.
