He is said to have died on 01.11.2005, while in service. The 2n d petitioner has made a representation on 29.11.2005 to the respondent, with a request to provide him employment, on compassionate grounds. The grievance of the petitioners is that that the respondents have not passed any order as yet. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents . The question as to whether there exists any scheme for providing employment to the dependants of the deceased-employees, on compassionate grounds, and if so, the terms thereof, needs to be examined, in the context of the consideration of the application of the 2nd petitioner. It cannot be said that there was undue delay on the part of the respondents in considering the case of the 2nd petitioner, since the application was made as recently as on 29.11.2005. The respondents need to examine various aspects of the scheme as well as the entitlement of the 2nd petitioner. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing the respondents to consider the application of the 2nd petitioner, and pass appropriate orders thereon, within a period of three (3) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 27.12.2005 Jsu
