Keeping in view that the question of law whether the policy prevalent at the time of death of an employee or for granting compassionate appointment/assistance or the policy prevalent on the date of consideration for giving compassionate appointment/assistance to the ward of such employee shall be applicable, is pending before a Larger Bench of this Court in CWP No.5335 of 2009, vide order dated 2.4.2009. In view of the aforesaid fact, I am not inclined to take cognizance of this petition at this stage. Dismissed.
