The following reliefs have been sought for by the petitioner in the present writ application.

"1. That the present writ application is being filed for a direction upon the concerned respondents to consider the case of the petitioner for compassionate appointment in view of the fact that the father of the petitioner died in harness on 16.01.2014, while working as Peon in the Government School, namely, High School, Sukhpur, Supaul, on any post in Class-III or Class-IV post.

The concerned respondents, for

Patna High Court CWJC No.12939 of 2018 (2) dt.10-08-2018 2/2 the reason best known to them, is not placing the case of the petitioner for consideration of appointment under compassionate ground, before the District Compassionate Committee, Supaul.

Instead, the concerned respondents are seeking one direction or the other from the higher authorities as to whether the petitioner can be appointed on the post of Primary Teacher, but the fact of the matter is that the petitioner never sought compassionate appointment on the post of Primary Teacher as is evident from the application given by him for appointment on compassionate ground."

With the aforesaid observations and directions, the present writ application stands disposed of.
