Judgment Ravi S.Dhavan, J. 1. Heard learned Counsel for the appellant and learned Counsel for the State. 2. The contention basically is that upon her fathers death on 19 June, 1987 admittedly the petitioner was a minor but in pursuance of an application she filed on 1 May, 1989 and again on 25 August, 1992 she was within the field of eligibility by having attained majority and to be considered in prsuance of a circular of the Government so issued in 1989. 3. The order on the writ petition is, to the effect, that upon death of a Government servant having occurred if a person applying is a minor then that person cannot be considered for a job on the ground of compassionate appointment. To this extent the judgment on the petition, the Court is afraid, is in-error. 4. There is a Government Circular No. 3/C/20-30/88 Ka. 6817 dated 25 May, 1989. It is reproduced : 5. ***************** LOCAL LANGUEGE **************** 6. This Circuter apparently is reiterated in Circular No. 3/C 2-60108/94 Ka. 2822 dated 27 April, 1995. This Circular, it appears, is overriding another Circular No. 3/C 2-2067/90 Ka dated 19 May, 1992, The 1992 Circular was to the effect that should a Government servant die and if the ward is a minor then the application for seeking compassionate appointment would not be considered. The 1995 circular in Clause 6 stated : ***************** LOCAL LANGUEGE **************** 7. Clause 6 as it occurs in 1995 circular is without any reservation. 8. The Court mentions this in this order because certain circulars issued by the State Government are with references to the Patna High Court taking certain decisions and passing orders. It may not be misunderstood that the High Court has given any direction to the State Government. The time has come now that the State Government should take its policy decision and act on a law. 9. Thus, in a cause as was brought by CWJC No. 1685 of 1994 and on the application as was made on 25 August, 1992 prima facie the appellant was within the filed of eligibility. In accordance with the Circular of the Government itself, her case needs to be considered. 10. The appeal succeeds.
