THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU WRIT PETITION No. 3477 of 2001 ORDER: 1. The Writ Petition is filed for not considering the application of the petitioner for appointment on compassionate grounds to the post of Measurer-cum- Watchman (M.C.W.) in the first respondent corporation. 2. Heard both sides. 3. According to the learned counsel for the petitioner, the petitioner is the sole legal heir of her deceased husband, who died on 16.3.1999 while in service as M.C.W. in the respondent corporation, and that the respondents have not considered her representation dated 31.9.1999 for compassionate appointment, and hence, he prays to direct the respondent corporation to consider the same. 4. The learned counsel appearing for the respondent corporation contended that there is no scheme available for appointment on compassionate grounds in the respondent corporation, as the same is being run in huge losses, and that number of applications are pending for the last 13 years, and that, as and when the Government gives permission therefor, the case of the petitioner will be considered as per her seniority, and therefore, he prays to dismiss the Writ Petition. 5. When there is no scheme for appointment in any post on compassionate grounds, the question of considering the case of the petitioner for appointment on compassionate grounds in the respondent corporation does not arise. The respondents issued a letter on 24.9.2000 stating that regarding employment in the respondent corporation, there are no vacancies in the cadre of M.C.W. and that as there was a ban of recruitment, they could not give the appointment. The learned counsel for the respondents submitted that, several applications with regard to compassionate appointments are pending and as and when the Government gives any permission for appointment on compassionate grounds, they will be made in accordance with the seniority of the applications. Therefore, there are no grounds to give a direction for the present to consider the representation of the petitioner, for, as on today, there is no scheme for appointing a person on compassionate grounds. However, this Order will not preclude the respondents in considering the case of the petitioner whenever the Government gives permission to the respondent corporation to make appointments on compassionate grounds. 6. With the above observation, the Writ Petition is dismissed. --------------------- (K.C.Bhanu, J.) 02.12.2010 DRK THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU WRIT PETITION No. 3477 of 2001 02.12.2010 THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU WRIT PETITION No. 3477 of 2001 Dated: 02.12.2010 Between: Smt.
