THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.13818 of 1996 Dated:14.12.2006 Between G.Dhana Bhagyamma …..Petitioner and 1The Govt of AP rep., by its Sectretary Endowments Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad and others. …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.13818 of 1996 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus to direct the respondents to pay Gratuity and Provident Fund and also direct them to appoint the petitioner’s son on compassionate grounds. It appears that the petitioner had earlier filed a writ petition No.27002 of 2003 seeking a Mandamus to declare the action of the 1st respondent in not paying the Provident Fund Gratuity and Pension to her as directed by this Court in WP No.17598 of 1988 dated 7.2.1995 as arbitrary and illegal. Therefore, the present writ petition is not maintainable insofar as the relief seeking a direction to the respondents to pay Provident Fund, Gratuity, Pension and other benefits are concerned. However, insofar as compassionate appointment is concerned, it is asserted in the counter affidavit filed by the respondents that the petitioner’s son is not entitled for appointment on compassionate grounds, in view of the fact that the petitioner’s husband was retired compulsorily as a disciplinary measure. Apart from that, the services rendered by the husband of the petitioner was only for 7 years 10 months and no such scheme is available for appointing the persons on compassionate grounds. In view of the above, writ petition is devoid of merits and is liable to be dismissed. Writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No costs. _________ 14- 12-2006 rkk
