STATE OF BIHAR Vs. LALTUSH KUMAR

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS appeal under Clause 10 of this Court 'sLetters Patent is against the order dated 3.11.1999 passed by a learned Single Judge in C.W.J.C. No. 7533 of 1998. By the order coming under appeal the learned Single Judge held that the actior of the State Government in declining to consider the case of the writ petitioner, respondent, for appointment on compassionate grounds for the reason that he was the adopted son of the deceased employee was bad and unjustified. The order under appeal accordingly directed the State to consider the case of the petitioner for appointment on compassionate grounds and, if so required, to refer his case to the appropriate Compassionate Appointment Committee.

(2.) THE appeal is without any substance or merit as the issue now stands concluded by an earlier Division Bench decision of this Court holding that any exclusion of an adopted son of a deceased Hindu employee from the scheme was not sustainable in law. The order coming under appeal, therefore, does not warrant any interference.

(3.) THE appeal is accordingly dismissed.
