J U D G M E N T The petitioner has filed this writ petition complaining that her request for compassionate appointment has not been considered by the respondents. The petitioner's father died on 29.8.2005 while in the service of the respondents. According to the petitioner, the family is facing very severe financial difficulties. The petitioner is jobless and without any income. Therefore, she claims appointment to the service of the respondents on compassionate grounds. 2. According to the petitioner, though she had been submitting various representations seeking appointment on compassionate grounds, her representations have not been considered by the authorities. The last representation submitted by her is Ext.P3, according to her, and the same has been submitted to the first respondent. However, the WP(C).No.32866/2011-G. 2 same has not been considered, is the complaint. 3. Advocate E.K.Nandakumar appears for the respondents. He opposes the prayers in the writ petition pointing out that though the death of the petitioner's father was in the year 2005, the petitioner has approached this Court only in 2011 seeking consideration of her representation Ext.P3. It is further submitted that the petitioner has made it clear in Ext.P3 that she would not be able to perform the same duties that her father was discharging. 4. Be that as it may, since Ext.P3 is pending before the first respondent, it is only just and proper that the same is considered and appropriate orders passed thereon. 5. In view of the above, this writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to consider the claim of the petitioner set out in her representation, evidenced herein by Ext.P3 in accordance with law and to pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate WP(C).No.32866/2011-G. 3 within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
