THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH W.P. No.5705 of 2010 ORDER: The claim of the petitioner is that his father died during the course of employment in the respondents Corporation on 19.05.2006. Therefore, he made several representations to the respondent authorities seeking employment on compassionate grounds but he failed to keep a copy of any representation. The respondents neither considering his representations nor forwarding the same to the higher authorities for consideration. Questioning such inaction on the part of the respondents, the petitioner filed the present writ petition. On behalf of the respondents counter affidavit has been filed, inter alia, submitting that father of the petitioner died during the course of employment on 19.05.2006. But, thereafter, wife of the deceased employee submitted an affidavit declaring that they have no intent to claim employment on compassionate grounds and requested for additional monetary benefit in lieu of employment. Accordingly, her requested was considered and paid an amount of Rs.1,00,000/- vide Cheque No.225971, dated 04.03.2008. Therefore, claiming employment, at this stage, by the petitioner is not justified. However, it is also submitted that the petitioner never approached the respondent authorities nor made any representation. In view of the above, he sought for dismissal of the writ petition. Having regard to the categorical submission in the counter affidavit that the wife of the deceased, mother of the petitioner, received an amount of Rs.1,00,000/- in lieu of employment, the question of claiming employment on compassionate ground does not arise and therefore, this writ petition is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, this writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH Date: 22.03.2011 LSK
