                         CR. APP (SJ) No.928 of 2007
                     GYAN RANJAN @ RANJAN KUMAR
                                   Versus
                             STATE OF BIHAR
                                  -----------

08. 22.06.2010 The appellant stands convicted under

Section 307 of I.P.C. and Section 27 of the Arms Act

and respectively sentenced to R.I. for ten years and

fine of Rs.20,000/- and R.I. for three years and fine of

Rs.5,000/-.

After filing of this appeal and on receipt

of the lower-court records bail was granted to this

appellant vide this Court’s order dated 07.11.2007.

Thereafter the appellant has filed I.A. No.630 of 2009

wherein prayer has been made for staying the order of

conviction passed upon the appellant. The grounds

and the reasons as assigned in the application as well

as in the supplementary affidavit filed subsequently

for the prayer that the appellant’s father was a

government employee, a Dafadar, who died on

29.12.2006 in harness and that after his death the

appellant has applied for compassionate appointment

in place of his father. Learned counsel for the

appellant submits that the order of conviction stands as

an impediment in the way of the appellant’s

compassionate appointment in place of his father.

Being faced with the situation that even
2

if the order of conviction is suspended will it not

amount to a further complication in the continuation of

the job if the appeal is dismissed, learned counsel,

after some argument prefers not to press this

application but with a request that this appeal be heard

expeditiously so that the appeal is decided on merit

and the prayer regarding compassionate appointment

of the appellant be finally resolved.

In view of the situation the I.A. No. 630

of 2009 is disposed of as not pressed but considering

the importance of the matter which relates to the

compassionate appointment of the appellant it appears

just and proper that this appeal be heard expeditiously

and the appeal is decided on merits.

Therefore, let the matter be placed before

Hon’ble the Chief Justice for consideration and orders

for listing the matter for expeditious hearing.
