=====================
Dated this the 23rd day of July, 2010
J U D G M E N T
Heard the counsel for the petitioner and also the learned
Assistant Solicitor General appearing for the respondent.
2. Petitioner’s father was a Lab Assistant under the
respondent. He died in harness on 29/11/2002. Thereupon,
petitioner submitted Ext.P1 application for compassionate
appointment, the scheme of which is stated to be Ext.P3. Again
petitioner submitted Exts.P2 and P2(a) reminders claiming the
benefit of Ext.P3 Scheme. Pursuant to the directions of this
Court as contained in Ext.P7 judgment, the claim has been
considered and is rejected by Ext.P8 order. It is Ext.P8 order,
which is under challenge in this writ petition.
3. A reading of Ext.P8 order shows that all that is stated
is that respondent regrets to inform the petitioner that as per the
existing rules and guidelines of compassionate appointment, his
case cannot be considered. This order does not disclose any
reason why the claim was rejected, and therefore, the order
admittedly has been passed without adverting to relevant
WPC No. 23161/10
:2 :
considerations and the provisions of Ext.P3 scheme.
4. For the above reason, I quash Ext.P8 and direct the
respondent to consider the claim of the petitioner in the light of
the provisions contained in the scheme governing appointment
on compassionate grounds and fresh orders in the matter shall
be passed. This shall be done, as expeditiously as possible, at any
rate within 6 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment
along with a copy of this writ petition.
Writ petition is disposed of as above.
ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE
