The instant petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India has been filed challenging, inter alia the rejection of the candidature of the petitioner for appointment on compassionate ground which has been done by the District Level Committee (hereinafter DLC) in its meeting dated30.01.2014.

2. The projected case of the petitioner, in a nutshell is that his father, Harkumar Das, who was working as Assistant Carpenter in the Office of the Executive Engineer, Irrigation, Rangia Division had died in harness on 11.10.2010. The petitioner who claims to be eligible had applied for appointment on compassionate ground and for a long time was unaware of the outcome of such consideration and accordingly, he had sought information under the RTI Act. Thereafter, he came to know that the District Level Committee (DLC), Kamrup, in its meeting dated 30.01.2014 had recommended the name of the private respondent no. 5 by rejecting the case of the petitioner. It is this action, which is the subject matter of challenge in this writ petition.
