Heard Mr. J. Kalita, learned counsel, appearing for
the petitioner. Also heard Mr. D. Bora, learned Government
Advocate, appearing for the State respondents.
2. By way of this writ petition under Article 226 of the
Constitution of India, the petitioner, i.e., Bibhuranjan Nath,
is seeking appointment on compassionate grounds.
3. The brief facts of the case are that the petitioner’s
father, i.e., the Late Balen Ch. Nath, who was working as a
Forester Grade-I in the Office of the Divisional Forest Officer
(DFO), Forest Resources Survey Division, Santipur, Guwahati,
died in harness on 21.11.2015. Thereafter, in the month of
January, 2016, the petitioner presented an application before
the authority seeking appointment on compassionate
grounds; however, since the same was allegedly not
registered, the petitioner on 08.08.2017 again applied for
appointment on compassionate grounds by filling out the
requisite Proforma (Annexure-B) to the writ petition.
Thereafter, the District Level Committee (hereinafter referred
to as the “DLC”) placed the case of the petitioner in its
meeting dated 19.06.2018, whereby the case of the petitioner
has been rejected on the ground of late submission of
application. Thereafter, the petitioner submitted a
representation before the Deputy Commissioner, Kamrup (M)
on 28.09.2018, whereby stating, inter alia, that the delay
caused in submitting the second application was due to the
first application of the petitioner being misplaced by the
authority, and hence, prayed for reconsidering the matter and
allowing the application for employment to be processed. The
aforesaid representation filed by the petitioner having not
borne any fruits, the present writ petition has been filed
before this court on 16.08.2023.
