IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA
CWJC No.5129 of 2007
LALAN PANDEY, son of late Bali Ram Pandey, resident of village Bhawanipur
Jirat, P.S. Chhatauni, District- East Champaran at Motihari.
... Petitioner.
Versus
1. THE STATE OF BIHAR
2. The Secretary, Board of Revenue, Govt. of Bihar, Patna.
3. The Deputy Secretary, Board of Revenue, Govt. of Bihar, Patna.
4. The District Magistrate, West Champaran at Bettiah.
5. The Manager, Bettia Raj , Bettia, Eistrict, West Champaran at Bettia.
... Respondents.
-----------
3. 01.04.2011 Heard learned counsel for the parties.
Admittedly, the father of the petitioner was
working in Bettiah Raj where the State has been appointed
as custodia legis. Even otherwise the Bettiah Raj is not a
government establishment and the control of the
government on the employees of Bettiah Raj is one out of
compulsion under the Court’s order. The father of the
petitioner therefore cannot be said to be a government
servant so as to clothe the petitioner with a right for being
considered for appointment on compassionate ground. The
Government policy is strictly confined to government
servant, an expression which stands well defined under
Bihar Service Code.
That being so, this writ application is wholly
without substance and is, accordingly, dismissed.
