SONIA DEVI Vs. STATE OF JHARKHAND

JUDGEMENT

(1.) HEARD both the sides.

(2.) THE petitioners husband had died in harness then she applied for her appointment to Class IV post on compassionate ground. By Annexure 2 she was appointed on the recommendation of the District Establishment Committee by the District Animal Husbandry Officer, Dhanbad. This letter was issued on 31.3.1994.

(3.) ON perusal of this letter it appears that there was practice that the regional authority used to pass the order of appointment on compassionate ground against the Class III and IV post on the basis of recommendation of District Level Compassionate Appointment Committee, which appears to be irregular. Consequently it was directed that any State Level Compassionate Appointment Committee was existing so in future for the purposes of appointment on compassionate ground, the papers be sent to the Directorate for being processed. On perusal of this letter it appears that this letter does not approve the existing procedure of appointment on the basis of District Level Compassionate Appointment Committee and therefore, it was directed that in future the appointment be made on the recommendation of the State Level Committee.
