TO JUDGE tss KURIAN JOSEPH, J. --------------------------------------- W.P.(C)No.28428 OF 2003 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 4th day of April, 2008. J U D G M E N T Petitioner is aggrieved since his request for compassionate appointment has not been considered carefully. It is seen from the counter affidavit that the matter was under consideration of Central Government, since for belated appointment the approval of the Central Government is necessary. There will be a direction to the 1st respondent to clear the file if any pending in the matter in the case of the petitioner, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment and in the light of the clearance made by the Central Government, appropriate action will be taken by the competent authority, if not already taken, immediately thereafter. This writ petition is disposed of as above. KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE. ps
