THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No. 15217 of 2006 Dated: 24.07.2006 Between: Pasupulati Chakravarthi Srinivasa Naidu, S/o late P. Muralikrishna Murthy, R/o 10-437/9, Malkajigiri, Secunderabad. .... PETITIONER AND The Chief General manager, HRD, A.P. Southern Power Distribution Company Ltd., Tirupathi, Chittoor District and another. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No. 15217 of 2006 Order: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents-APSPDCL. The case of the petitioner is that his father, namely Muralikrishna Murthy died in harness on 14.06.2005 while working as LDC in the respondents-APSPDCL. Thereafter, he made an application, dated 29.11.2005, to the respondents-APSPDCL seeking appointment on compassionate grounds. But, no action has been taken by the respondents so far. Hence, he filed the present writ petition. Since the application of the petitioner dated 29.11.2005, seeking appointment on compassionate grounds, is said to be pending consideration before respondent No.1, namely Chief General Manager, HRD, APSPDCL, Tirupathi, instead of keeping the writ petition pending, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the same with the following direction: Respondent No.1, namely Chief General Manager, HRD, APSPDCL, Tirupathi, is directed to consider the application, dated 29.11.2005, of the petitioner and pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law, expeditiously, preferably within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Accordingly the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 24.07.2006 Nsr/Ksr
