Satyamma, the 2nd petitioner herein as Junior Assistant /Typist or in any suitable post as a special case. Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.A.K.JAYAPRAKASH RAO Counsel for the Respondent Nos.1 to 3: GP FOR TECHNICAL EDUCATION The Court made the following : ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus to declare the Memo No.7924/EC1/97, dated 28.8.1998 issued by the 1st respondent insofar as it states that the proposal for appointment of the 2nd petitioner on compassionate grounds cannot be considered as arbitrary and illegal and contrary to the note dated 30.12.1997 of the Minister for Technical Education. It appears that the son of the petitioner, K.Raghavender, while studying B.Tech first year in the Regional Engineering College, Warangal, committed suicide on 27.11.1997 in Room No.4- 2-6 of the said college, due to heavy ragging faced by him. The suicide note dated 27.11.1997 addressed to the Chief Minister also revealed the same. According to the petitioner, the 3rd respondent addressed a letter dated 23.12.1997 to the 2nd respondent recommending for providing a job to his daughter, who had passed B.Com and having type writing qualification and the Minister for Technical Education also endorsed on the same recommending the case of his daughter. But, the same was not considered and rejected through the impugned memo dated 28.8.1998. Hence, the present writ petition is filed. The impugned memo itself is a self explanatory. It is stated that the proposals for appointment of daughter of the petitioner on compassionate grounds, cannot be considered by the Government on the ground that there is no such scheme available. But, only some ex-gratia can be granted by the Government. If no such scheme is available, the respondents cannot be forced to consider the case of the daughter of the petitioner in view of the death of his son, who committed suicide . Therefore, the writ petition is misconceived and is liable to be dismissed. The writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed. However, it is always left open for the respondents to consider payment of ex-tragia amount, if any, for which the petitioner is eligible. __________ 17-04-2008 rkk .....
