(Oral) Petitioners, in all these cases, are aggrieved since on compassionate ground they are offered the posts only of daily waged beldar. In several cases, this court has held that it is not required that the compassionate appointment be granted in only beldar posts. In case an incumbent is qualified to hold a class III post and in case there is a vacancy, the compassionate appointment has to be made in lowest rung of class III post, as per the policy and as held in Annexure P-5 in CWP No. 81 of 2010 and other cases. 2. There will be a direction to the second respondent/competent authority to look into the matter, verify the facts and take appropriate action in the light of the settled position, as stated above. This shall be done within a period of three months from the date of production of the copy of this judgment alongwith the copy of the writ petition by the petitioner concerned before the competent authority. 3. All the writ petitions stand disposed of, so also the pending application(s), if any. Copy dasti. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice ( Justice V.K. Sharma ), November 11, 2010(K) Judge
