JUSTICE NELSON SAILO ORDER Date : 01-08-2025 Heard Mr. AM Barbhuiya, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. B Deuri, learned Government Advocate appearing for the State respondents. 2. Having regard to the nature of case projected by the petitioner, the writ petition is disposed of at the motion stage itself. 3. This is the 2nd time, the petitioner is before this Court, the earlier writ petition being WP(C) 2149/2022 was disposed of, vide order dated 25.05.2022. The case of the petitioner therein was that his application for compassionate appointment was rejected on the ground of being underage. But, this Court observed that on the date of consideration, the petitioner had attained the age of majority and therefore, directed the District Level Committee (DLC), Hailakandi to consider his case for compassionate appointment. 4. The DLC thereafter held its meeting on 19.09.2023, wherein the name of the petitioner was placed at Sl. No. 3 amongst the recommended candidates for the post of Assistant Teacher in LP School. Despite the recommendation, the Page No.# 3/3 case of the petitioner could not be considered by the State Level Committee (SLC) on the ground that the State Government in the meantime had come up with an Office Memorandum (OM) dated 18.09.2024 by which the compassionate appointment had been done away with, in view of the introduction of the Compassionate Family Pension Scheme. It may be noticed that a number of cases on similar ground had been considered by this Court and the lead case being WP(C) 342/2025. The bunch of cases were disposed of, vide order dated 03.04.2025 by directing the respondent authorities to consider all the pending cases, as per the Government Policy. 5. The learned counsel for the petitioner has also drawn the attentions of this Court to Annexure- 6 of the writ petition, which is an order dated 30.04.2025 passed in WP(C) 2070/2025 which was disposed of on the basis of the earlier Court’s order dated 03.04.2025 in WP(C) 342/2025. Therefore, having regard to the projection made by the petitioner, it appears that the petitioner’s case is also covered by the earlier direction of this Court. 6. In view of above, the respondent authorities are directed to place the case of the petitioner before the next SLC sitting for considering his case for appointment on compassionate basis. 7. With the above observations and directions, this writ petition stands disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
