Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that though the petitioner made representations on 08.05.2002 and 06.01.2004 to the second respondent to consider his case on compassionate grounds, but no order has been communicated to him and hence, he prays to direct the respondents to consider his case on compassionate grounds. On the other hand, learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents submitted that the case of the petitioner has already been considered and rejected by proceedings dated 19.12.2002. He further submitted that the alternative remedy is only to challenge the proceedings dated 19.12.2002. The facts are not in dispute. The petitioner made representations on 08.05.2002 and 06.01.2004 seeking appointment under compassionate grounds. The second respondent vide proceedings dated 19.12.2002 rejected the request of the petitioner for compassionate appointment in view of G.O.Ms.No.687, Gen.Admn, (Ser.A) Department dated 03.10.1977 on the ground that the mother of the petitioner is a Government Servant. Once the case of the petitioner has already been considered, question of considering his case again does not arise. As seen from the proceedings dated 19.12.2002, the rejection order has not been communicated to the petitioner, but it was communicated to the mother of the petitioner. The petitioner submits that he was living separately. Therefore, he seeks for necessary directions. In the aforementioned circumstances, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition giving liberty to the petitioner to challenge the proceedings dated 19.12.2002. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. 19.01.2005 usd To 1. The Secretary (Services), Government of Andhra Pradesh, , Secretariat, AP, Hyderabad. 2.
