Azam, Advocate Ms. Aulia Begum, Advocate For the State : Mr. Divyam, AC to SC-IV …...... 09 /15.01.2026: Heard learned counsel representing the petitioner and learned counsel representing the respondents. 2. The petitioner’s father was Chowkidar. After his death the work was being taken from the petitioner on the basis of heredity. Thus, the petitioner has approached this Court praying therein to regularise his services after giving relaxation of age and appoint him as Chowkidar. 3. No one can claim any government job on the basis of 2026:JHHC:956 2 heredity except compassionate appointment. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in “Bihar Rajya Dafadar Chaukidar Panchayat (Magadh Division) vs. State of Bihar and Others” reported in 2025 SCC OnLine 1882 deprecated the action of the State Government where appointment was made on the basis of Heredity. Thus, no direction can be given to the respondents to appoint the petitioner on the ground of heredity. 4. So far as the emoluments of the petitioner is concerned, it is the contention of the petitioner that work was being taken from him but he has not been paid. 5. Thus, I direct the petitioner to approach the respondent no. 6-the Superintendent of Police, Bokaro by filing an appropriate application. If the same is filed, the respondents will consider the case of the petitioner and if it is found that the respondents had taken work from this petitioner his necessary emoluments should be disbursed to him. 6. If the petitioner files his representation within four weeks, his case will be considered and the decision should be taken within six weeks thereafter. 7. If it is found that the petitioner is entitled for any monetary benefits the same should be extended to the petitioner within four weeks. If the claim of the petitioner is rejected for any reasons whatsoever the reasons should be communicated to the petitioner within the aforesaid period. 8. With the aforesaid observation and direction, this writ petition is disposed of. (ANANDA SEN, J.) 15.01.2026 Tanuj/CP-2 Uploaded on 16.01.2026
