THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.26675 of 2000 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus declaring the Proceedings No.A4/4149/C2/2000 dated 19.11.2000 issued by third respondent in not appointing the petitioner on compassionate grounds as arbitrary, illegal and consequently direct the respondents to appoint the petitioner as Attender or Junior Assistant or in any other suitable post. It appears, father of the petitioner who was working as School Assistant in the fourth respondent School (Aided School) died in harness on 11.5.1989. Therefore, petitioner filed an application seeking employment on compassionate grounds. Earlier he had also filed W.P.No.11944 of 1999 seeking to provide employment on compassionate grounds. Even during the pendency of the said writ petition, third respondent vide proceedings dated 1.3.2000 rejected the claim of the petitioner. Therefore, petitioner filed W.P.M.P.No.17601 of 2000 in W.P.No.11944 of 1999 challenging the said proceedings dated 1.3.2000 by amending the prayer in the writ petition. Thereafter the very writ petition was disposed of on 29.8.2000 directing the respondents therein to consider the case of the petitioner for appointment either as Junior Assistant or Attender or S.G.P. Teacher if he has improved the qualification. It was also observed that the petitioner was fully qualified for holding two posts viz. Junior Assistant and Attender. Thereafter, third respondent passed impugned order dated 19.11.2000 stating that the case of the petitioner for appointment to the post of Attender or Junior Assistant cannot be considered as there are no suitable posts available at present in the fourth respondent institution. Hence this writ petition. It appears, after passing the impugned order, Government also imposed ban on compassionate appointments, however the said ban was lifted thereafter by the Government. Further, the Government also issued G.O.Ms.No.113 dated 6.10.2009 making it clear that a person whose parents died in Aided Schools need not seek employment in the very same school, they can seek employment in the entire district, taking district as a unit, particularly in Zilla Parishad, Mandal Praja Parishad and Government Offices or Schools. That was also further clarified vide Memo dated 9.6.2010. Therefore, in view of issuance of G.O.Ms.No.113 dated 6.10.2009, there is no embargo for the respondents to consider the case of petitioner for appointment either in the same school where his father died in harness or in the entire district, taking district as a unit, wherever vacancies are available. Under those circumstances, the respondents are directed to consider the case of the petitioner in any vacancy that is available in the entire district and pass appropriate orders, as per law, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of this order. The writ petition is accordingly allowed. No order as to costs. ______________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 21.1.2011 DA THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.26675 of 2000 21.1.2011 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.26675 of 2000 Date: 21st January, 2011 Between: N.Devender ..
