Petitioner in this writ petition has prayed for appointment for himself after cancelling the appointment of his younger brother who has been appointed on compassionate ground. 3. Admittedly, the father of this petitioner was a Chokidar and he superannuated on 31.01.2009. The petitioner being the eldest son claims that upon superannuation of his father, he should have been appointed. His grievance is that in his place, his younger brother has been appointed. 4. In public employment there is no concept of appointment by hereditary. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Surender Paswan & Others vs. State of Bihar and Others, reported in (2010) 6 SCC 680 has deprecated hereditary appointment in public post. 5. Accordingly, the instant writ petition stands dismissed. (ANANDA SEN, J.) 16th October, 2025 R.S./
