JUDGMENT
Petitioner’s father K.K.Ramesan died in harness on
22.09.05. Petitioner made an application on 18.05.06, for
appointment under the dying-in-harness scheme. His claim was
accepted and orders have been issued as per Ext.P1 for
appointing him in a suitable post. Petitioner’s grievance is that
appointment orders have not been issued so far.
Learned Government Pleader on instructions submits that
orders of appointment are issued to the beneficiaries under the
compassionate appointment scheme, going by a list of seniority
list prepared with reference to the date of application. On account
of the fact that the number of applicants are much more than the
number of posts reserved for compassionate appointment, only
persons who have registered their application up to 19.02.04 have
been appointed so far. As stated above, petitioner had applied on
18.05.06. It is assured that the petitioner will also be issued
orders of appointment going by the date of application. This
submission is recorded and the Writ Petition is disposed of
WPC No. 5856 OF 2008

directing the 2nd respondent to issue orders of appointment to the
petitioner depending upon the availability of vacancies and going
by the order of seniority as mentioned above.
