PLEADER SHRI.ANTONY MUKKATH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 10/03/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No. 3706 of 2011 ================== Dated this the 10th day of March, 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is the daughter of a Government employee, who died while in service. She is qualified for appointment to the post of Medical Officer (Homeo). She applied for compassionate employment under the compassionate employment scheme of the Government. She was offered the post of L.D.Clerk. The petitioner submits that in similar cases, the Government has exercised powers under Rule 39 of the KS&SSR to give employment to persons commensurate with their qualifications. The petitioner, therefore, seeks indulgence of the Government in the matter in order to enable the petitioner to get appointment as a Medical Officer (Homeo) commensurate with her qualifications. Seeking this relief, the petitioner has filed Ext.P5 representation before the 2nd respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P5 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3. Having heard both sides, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P5, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner.
