This writ petition is filed by the petitioner being aggrieved that although his case was recommended by the District Level Committee (DLC), Kamrup in its minutes of the meeting dated 18.03.2020 for appointment on compassionate ground in Grade-IV post under the Office of the Executive Engineer, PWD, Rangia Rural Road Division, Kamrup, however, his case was rejected by the State Level Committee (SLC) by its meeting held on 15.02.2022 showing him to be under qualified. The petitioner thereafter submitted a representation dated 12.04.2022 where he had ventilated his grievance before the Chief Secretary, Government of Assam on the ground that he was being wrongly rejected to be under qualified although he has all the essential qualification required and upon due consideration of the same, the DLC had recommended him for appointment. The said representation, according to the petitioner, has not been disposed of by the respondent no.1. No communication or order has been passed by the Chief Secretary to the Government of Assam on the said representation dated 12.04.2022. Being aggrieved, the present writ petition has been filed. 3. No counter affidavit has been filed by the respondents in spite of the notice being issued in the matter. 4. Considering the prayer made in the present writ petition seeking a direction for setting aside the order dated 15.02.2022 stated to have been passed by the SLC, in the absence of any affidavit filed by the respondent authorities, this Court is of the considered view that the writ petition can be closed with a specific direction to the Chief Secretary, Government of Assam, namely, the respondent no.1 to dispose of the representation dated 12.04.2022 for ventilating his grievance that the petitioner has adequate qualification for being Page No.# 4/4 considered for appointment on compassionate ground in a post of Grade-IV under the Office of the Executive Engineer, PWD, Rangia Rural Road Division.

The credentials in support of the claim made by the petitioner are required to be considered by the respondent no.1 while disposing of the representation. If these credentials are not available on record, the same may be called for from the petitioner by issuing appropriate notice at the postal address given in the writ petition.

Let this exercise be completed within a period of 90 (ninety) days from the date of receipt of a certified copy along with a copy of the writ petition and the enclosures, which will be furnished to the office of the respondent no.1 within 10 (ten) days from today. Thereafter, the respondent no.1 will dispose of the representation with a period directed above and shall be served to the writ petitioner. 5.
