Therefore, his elder brother submitted a representation dated 14/8/2000 to the third respondent to appoint the petitioner as Village Assistant on compassionate grounds. While his https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 representation was being processed, his brother died on 19/2/2010. Since the petitioner being the next legal heir made a representation to the second respondent on 22/3/2010 to appoint him as Village Assistant on compassionate ground. Later, when he approached the third respondent, he learnt that his representation and other related documents were missing. Hence, the petitioner made a representation to the second respondent on 28/9/2010 to appoint him as Village Assistant on compassionate ground. Since the same has not been considered so far, the petitioner has approached this Court by way of filing the present Writ Petition. 6.Considering the above facts and circumstances, without expressing any opinion on the claim made by the petitioner, I direct the petitioner to send a copy of the representation to the first respondent also within a period of one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and on receipt of the same, the respondents 1 and 2 are directed to consider the same and pass appropriate orders on merits and in accordance with law within a period of eight weeks thereafter. 7.This Writ Petition is ordered accordingly.
