THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.12716 of 2010 ORDER: One Sri D.Kullayappa, father of the petitioner, was employed as Attender in respondent No.1-University. He is said to have died on 23.09.2009. The petitioner submitted an application on 24.11.2009, to respondent No.1 with a request to appoint him on compassionate grounds. His grievance is that no orders have been passed so far. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for respondent No.1. The petitioner impleaded the mother, sisters, brother and other children of the deceased as respondent Nos.2 to 8. That clearly discloses that there is lack of unanimity or certainty as to the person who is entitled to be extended the benefit. At this stage, it is not known as to whether there exists a scheme for providing appointment on compassionate grounds in respondent No.1-University. As long as the disputes between the petitioner and other family members subsist, respondent No.1 cannot take any steps. The petitioner has to seek a declaration from a competent Court of law or to obtain the consent of the other family members. Therefore, the writ petition is dismissed, leaving it open to the petitioner to seek a declaration from a competent Court of law as to his entitlement to seek appointment on compassionate grounds to the exclusion of the other family members or to secure their consent. As and when the petitioner armed with a decree in his favour or the consent of other family members, he can make a fresh application. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:13.09.2010. kdl
