Mr. Md. Najmul Hodda, Advocate For the Respondent/s :

Mr. Awanish Nandan Sinha (GP-21) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHUTOSH KUMAR ORAL ORDER 22-01-2020 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the respondents.

Counter affidavit on behalf of the State has been filed during the course of argument. Let it be taken on record.

The petitioner has challenged the order dated 07.05.2018 passed by the Director (Administration), Bihar Agricultural University, Sabour, Bhagalpur whereby

Patna High Court CWJC No.21860 of 2019(3) dt.22-01-2020 2/2 the claim of the petitioner for being considered for compassionate appointment has been rejected on the ground of such application being time barred. The death of the employee in question took place in the year 1979. There would be no purpose in assessing the facts of this case as compassionate appointment is always granted to provide immediate succor to the family and it cannot be a method for getting employment from the back-door.

Since the death took place sometimes in the year 1979 and more than forty years have passed by, this Court is not inclined to entertain this petition, notwithstanding the fact that the petitioner, at the time of death of the employee concerned, was only six years of age.

The petition stands dismissed.
