No.17373 of 2010 (V) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 4th day of June, 2010 J U D G M E N T The case of the petitioner is that his father was a Laboratory Assistant (Supporting Staff Grade IV) in the services of the respondent. It is stated that his father expired on 29/11/2002. Thereupon the petitioner submitted Ext.P1 application for compassionate appointment claiming the benefit of Ext.P3 scheme providing for such appointment. Orders have not been passed on Ext.P1 and therefore, this writ petition is filed. 2. The petitioner also has a case that subsequent applicants have been given employment and that he has been discriminated. Irrespective of the contentions raised, at this stage, all that is required to do is that the respondent should consider Ext.P1 application made by the petitioner in accordance with Ext.P3 scheme. Therefore, I direct the respondent to consider Ext.P1 in the light of Ext.P3. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible, at WP(C) No.17373/2010 -2- any rate, within six weeks of production of a copy of this judgment, along with a copy of this writ petition. This writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
