The issue relates to compassionate appointment. The case of the unofficial respondent is that as she is unmarried, she is entitled for compassionate appointment consequent on the death of her father. However, the department’s stand is that she is already married and having three children. This situation is seriously disputed by the unofficial respondent. Under those circumstances, we are of the view that an enquiry should be conducted by the collector and the report should be sent to this Court for passing appropriate further orders. Accordingly, pending further orders, the collector, Guntur District is directed to cause enquiry with regard to the marital status of the unofficial respondent Viz., A. Easter Rani D/O David, R/O H. No. 29-726/2, Vinukonda, as to whether she is marred, if so, the details of her marriage etc. The District Collector shall send a detailed report to this Court within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
