It was argued by the respondents, petitioners herein, before the Central Administrative Tribunal that the case of the applicant, respondent herein was considered by the Circle Relaxation Committee and it was not found possible to offer him appointment on compassionate ground and hence his case was rejected. However, a direction was also issued to consider his case for appointment on compassionate ground, if and when vacancy arises. We are of the opinion that the case of the applicant, respondent herein, for appointment on compassionate ground has 2 to be considered in accordance with law. With the above observation this application is dismissed. Abhay Kumar ( T. Meena Kumari, J.) (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
