Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.G.VIDYASAGAR Counsel for the Respondent No.: MR.R.MANMADHA REDDY The Court at the admission stage made the following: ORDER: The petitioner claims that he is the son of a deceased employee of the respondents Corporation. His father S.Sambasivarao died in harness on 17.08.2001 while in employment. The petitioner contends that his mother made a representation to the respondents Corporation on 12.12.2003, requesting the Corporation to provide employment to the petitioner. 2. The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents Corporation, instead of providing employment, sent a letter dated 27.12.2003, mentioning that the organization is running in losses and no vacancies are available, hence at this juncture, there is no possibility to provide employment, but there is possibility to pay some amount instead of providing job. The petitioner, being aggrieved by the said letter dated 27.12.2003, approached this Court, through this writ petition, seeking a direction to the respondents to consider the request of the petitioner for compassionate appointment under the Bread Winner Scheme by virtue of a circular of the respondents corporation No.PD-30/2000, dated 05.05.2000 and to pass appropriate orders on the application of the petitioner for compassionate appointment. 3. In the light of the circumstances explained by the petitioner, the respondents are directed to pass appropriate orders on the representation of the petitioner for compassionate appointment, by keeping in view of the circular No.PD- 30/2000, dated 05.05.2000 of the respondents Corporation. The respondents may consider the request of the petitioner for compassionate appointment in future vacancies also. 4. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. dsr/cs ASSISTANT REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER To: 1.
