(Oral) The petitioner has prayed for following relief in the writ petition:- “ (1) To issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction directing the respondents to appoint the petitioner to the post of TGT (Medical) or to any other suitable post in consonance with the qualification of the petitioner from date any claimant subsequent to the claim of the petitioner for compassionate appointment has been provided employment with all consequential benefits with interest @12% per annum.” 2. In the nature of order, we propose to pass, it is not necessary for this court to go into the merits of the case since a decision on the application filed by the petitioner for employment on compassionate grounds has to be taken by the first respondent. Therefore, there will be direction to first respondent to take final decision on the application of petitioner in accordance with law and justice within a period of one month from the date of production of copy of this judgement alongwith a copy of writ petition by the petitioner. Copy dasti. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice. July 7, 2010 (Justice Kuldip Singh), (Hem) Judge. - 2 -
