HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH WRIT PETITION No.30597 of 2011 Dated 18-11-2011 Between: Lingolu Subrahmanyam. …Petitioner. And: The Government of Andhra Pradesh, Co-operative Department, represented by its District Cooperative Officer, East Godavari District and others. …Respondents. HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH WRIT PETITION No.30597 of 2011 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking to declare the action of the respondents in not appointing the petitioner on compassionate grounds in the 3rd respondent society as illegal, arbitrary and violative of Article 14 of the Constitution of India and contrary to the provisions of the A.P. Cooperative Societies Act and Rules made thereunder and consequently, direct the respondents to appoint him as Attender or to any other suitable post in the 3rd respondent society on compassionate grounds. The case of the writ petitioner, in brief, is as follows: His father by name Lingolu Ram Lingeswara Rao was an employee of the 3rd respondent society and he was appointed as an attender on 15.5.1978 and discharged his duties for over 30 years and died on 1-4- 2011 while in service. The petitioner made a representation on 4-5-2011 to the 3rd respondent society to appoint him as Attender or to any other suitable post on compassionate grounds as there is no other bread winner to his family. The 3rd respondent has power to make appointment for compassionate grounds in view of Section 115-D(2) of the A.P.C.S.Act, but the 3rd respondent is postponing his appointment on compassionate grounds by one pretext or the other. By virtue of the postponement of his appointment by the 3rd respondent, himself and their family members are facing severe financial constraints. He has no other alternative remedy except to approach this Court by filing this writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for the respondents 1 and 2 and perused the material available on record. The main grievance of the petitioner is that he is unemployee and he has passed 10th class and due to untimely death of his father, there is no source of income to himself and his family members. Apart from that, even though he made a representation dated 4-5-2011 to the 3rd respondent seeking to appoint him as Attender or to any other suitable post on compassionate grounds, the 3rd respondent is postponing his appointment. In view of the facts and circumstances of the case coupled with the averments made in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition, I feel it just and proper to direct the respondent-authorities to consider the representation dated 4-5-2011 stated to have been filed by the petitioner before the 3rd respondent-authorities and pass appropriate orders within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above direction, this writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission. No costs. ____________________ Justice G.CHANDRAIAH Dated 18-11-2011.
