SRI.T.P.M.IBRAHIM KHAN, ASG THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 23/07/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 23161 OF 2010 (U) ===================== Dated this the 23rd day of July, 2010 J U D G M E N T Heard the counsel for the petitioner and also the learned Assistant Solicitor General appearing for the respondent. 2. Petitioner's father was a Lab Assistant under the respondent. He died in harness on 29/11/2002. Thereupon, petitioner submitted Ext.P1 application for compassionate appointment, the scheme of which is stated to be Ext.P3. Again petitioner submitted Exts.P2 and P2(a) reminders claiming the benefit of Ext.P3 Scheme. Pursuant to the directions of this Court as contained in Ext.P7 judgment, the claim has been considered and is rejected by Ext.P8 order. It is Ext.P8 order, which is under challenge in this writ petition. 3. A reading of Ext.P8 order shows that all that is stated is that respondent regrets to inform the petitioner that as per the existing rules and guidelines of compassionate appointment, his case cannot be considered. This order does not disclose any reason why the claim was rejected, and therefore, the order admittedly has been passed without adverting to relevant WPC No. 23161/10 :2 : considerations and the provisions of Ext.P3 scheme. 4. For the above reason, I quash Ext.P8 and direct the respondent to consider the claim of the petitioner in the light of the provisions contained in the scheme governing appointment on compassionate grounds and fresh orders in the matter shall be passed. This shall be done, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 6 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
