ORDER: The father of the petitioner was employed as Driver in the Rajendranagar Depot of APSRTC. He died on 20.12.2005, while in service. At that time, the petitioner was minor. As such, he could not make any application for appointment on compassionate grounds. However, the mother of the petitioner submitted an application with a prayer to consider the case of the petitioner herein, for compassionate appointment, as Conductor. That application was rejected by the second respondent through proceedings dated 06.07.2009, stating that the petitioner is not qualiﬁed and is under-aged. The same is challenged in this Writ Petition. Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents- Corporation. The claim for providing employment on compassionate grounds to the legal heirs of the deceased-employee in the Corporation, even when it was in force, was to be considered, if only, the application is filed within one year, from the date of death of the employee. At present, such scheme does not exist in the Corporation. Additional monetary beneﬁt, in lieu of compassionate employment; is extendible to the family members of the deceased. The reasons mentioned by the respondents for rejecting the application, cannot be said to be illegal. Hence, the Writ Petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ------------------------------------------------ JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY 17T H SEPTEMBER, 2010. Msnr.
