HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No. 4928 of 2000 ORDER: The petitioners, three in number, are all widows of erstwhile employees of the Nandyal Cooperative Spinning Mill Limited, Panyam Mandal, Kurnool District. They have filed the present Writ Petition seeking a direction to the second respondent to provide them employment on the ground that their husbands died in harness. Despite service of notice, none appears for the Nandyal Cooperative Spinning Mill Limited. Learned Government Pleader for Cooperation would submit that he has no instructions to appear on behalf of the respondents. No counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the respondents. I consider it appropriate, therefore, to direct the second respondent to consider the case of the petitioners, for appointment on compassionate grounds, in accordance with the scheme of compassionate appointment, if any existing in the second respondent-Nandyal Cooperative Spinning Mill Limited. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. However, in the circumstances, without costs. RAMESH RANGANATHAN,J Date:23.09.2010 usd
