Patna High Court MJC No.3746 of 2018 dt.02-11-2022 2/2 disposed of with direction to the District Programme Officer (Establishment), Jehanabad who shall examine the claim of the petitioner in the light of the policy decision of the State Government and ensure final decision on the claim of the petitioner for compassionate appointment within a maximum period of sixty days from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order."

The respondents have taken a decision on the petitioner's request, which obviously is not acceptable to the petitioner, for the same not to be in his favour. As such, it is the considered opinion of this Court that there is no wilful disobedience of the directions issued by this Court in CWJC No. 5479 of 2016 (supra).

As such, the petition stands disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to agitate the same, in accordance with law. Interlocutory Application(s), if any, shall stand disposed of.
