Jahnavee Bora v. The State of Assam and 10 Ors

ORDER Date : 05.04.2024

Heard Mr. P. Talukdar, learned counsel for the petitioner. Also heard Mr. D. Gogoi, learned standing counsel, PHE for the respondent Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7; Mr. D. Borah, learned Govt. Advocate for the respondent Nos. 5, 8 and 9 and Mr. D. Upamainyu, learned standing counsel, Health Department for the respondent Nos. 10 and 11.

¶2The father of the petitioner Late Bijoy Kumar Borah while serving as Junior Engineer in the Office of the Executive Engineer (PHE) Ghilamara Division, Lakhimpur, died-in-harness on 26.03.2014. The petitioner thereafter made an Page No.# 4/4 application for appointment on compassionate grounds on 16.02.2015. The District Level Committee in its meeting held on 28.12.2021, recommended the case of the petitioner for appointment as Multi Purpose Worker under the Office of Joint Director of Health Services, Lakhimpur. The grievance of the petitioner before this Court is that despite the recommendation being made by the concerned DLC, the State Level Committee is yet to consider her case.

¶3Considering the short issue involved, this writ petition is disposed of directing the State Level Committee to consider the case of the petitioner in its next immediate sitting and thereafter pass appropriate order(s).

¶4However, if the case of the petitioner has already been considered by the SLC, the outcome of such consideration shall be communicated to the petitioner forthwith.

¶5With the above observations and directions, this writ petition is disposed of.
