THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.7887 of 2010 ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. This writ petition is filed seeking a mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not providing employment to her on compassionate grounds as illegal and arbitrary and to issue consequential directions to the respondents to provide employment to her. It is the case of the petitioner that her husband worked as a Lineman in the first respondent Company and in the year 2001, when he was not keeping good health, he was admitted in the hospital and he absconded from the hospital. It is submitted that a complaint was filed by her before the police but as they could not trace her husband, they closed the case referring as undetectable. It is further submitted that in view of the fact that her husband is missing from the last several years, an application was submitted by her to the respondents seeking employment on compassionate grounds but the same was not considered. It is also the case of the petitioner that certain benefits, which are liable to pay to her husband on account of his service rendered to the Company, are not being paid to her. From time to time, she has been making representations. At one point of time, she submitted a representation to the third respondent and the latest representation, dated 18.03.2010 was submitted to the first and second respondents by marking a copy to the third respondent. It is not in dispute that there is a Scheme for compassionate appointments in APCPDCL. Whether the petitioner fits into that Scheme is to be examined by the competent authority, the third respondent - Superintendent Engineer, Transmission Lines and Sub- Stations, APCPDCL, Kurnool. As much as there is no proof of filing such representation by the petitioner, I deem it appropriate to permit her to submit a detailed representation to the third respondent within a period of four (4) weeks from today. If any such representation is submitted, the third respondent shall consider the claim of the petitioner for appointment on compassionate grounds and payment of benefits on account of the service rendered by her husband and pass appropriate orders as expeditiously as possible, preferably, within a period of three (3) months thereafter. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 12th APRIL, 2010. kvni
