He is said to have died on 03.08.1998 while in service. The petitioners claim to have made a representation to the respondents with a request to provide alternative employment to either of them. They also relied upon a Circular No.4989, dated 22.07.2003, issued by the respondents-bank, in this regard. Their grievance is that no action has been taken by the respondents so far. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners. The questions as to whether the scheme formulated by the respondents for providing compassionate appointment to their employees who die in harness applies to the petitioners and whether they fulfill the conditions stipulated therefore, need to be considered by the respondents. As of now, no order has been passed by the respondents. The representation made by the petitioners cannot be kept pending indefinitely. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing respondents 1 and 2 to consider the representation said to have been made by the petitioners and pass appropriate orders within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. To avoid uncertainty in the matter, the petitioners are permitted to submit a copy of the representation made by them earlier, along with the copy of this order, to the respondents. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ (L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J) 15TH SEPTEMBER, 2005. TS
