However, the respondent has not taken any action on the said representations so far. Hence, the petitioner filed this writ petition seeking to appoint her in any suitable higher cadre in conformity with the educational qualification possessed by her. Learned counsel for the petitioner relied upon a Division Bench judgment of this Court in W.P.No.900 of 2008 dated 30.07.2008, wherein this Court, after referring to G.O.Ms.No.612 dated 30.10.1991, which was issued clarifying the position to the effect that if an applicant seeking compassionate appointment is eligible for any other category of posts (other than last grade service post), such person can be considered in the post equivalent to Junior Assistant post, directed the District Judge, Kadapa to consider the representation of the petitioner therein keeping in view the orders of the Government in the said G.O.Ms.No.612, dated 30.10.1991. Learned counsel for the petitioner also relied upon a judgment of this Court in W.P.No.12759 of 2009 dated 21.12.2010, wherein this Court, in similar circumstances, disposed of the writ petition with a direction to the respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner therein within a time frame. The leaner Standing Counsel for High Court of Andhra Pradesh does not object for disposal of the representations of the petitioner, if not already disposed of. In the circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of directing the District Judge, Kadapa to dispose of the representations purported to have been made by the petitioner on 11.11.2004 and 18.04.2009 appointing her in any suitable post in conformity with the qualification, if any, possessed by her.
