The deceased Ratnam died on 16.4.2001 while working as helper in the respondent-corporation. The petitioner contends that the third respondent gave a communication on 25.6.2001 to his mother to submit an application to the concerned authorities on or before 30.06.2001 for providing employment on compassionate grounds. Subsequently, the petitioner’s mother submitted an application requesting the respondents to appoint the petitioner on compassionate grounds. The grievance of the petitioner is that subsequent to the presentation of the said application no orders have been passed by the respondents till now. The petitioner contends that as per the circular of the respondent- corporation No.PD-30/2000, dated 05.05.2000, the petitioner is entitled for employment on bread winner scheme and further claims that he fulfilled all the conditions required for the said appointment. 2 . The petitioner further contends that on 07.07.2004 his mother submitted a representation to the second respondent to consider the case of the petitioner for employment on compassionate grounds. The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents did not pass any orders on that representation also. Therefore, the petitioner approached this court seeking a direction to the respondents to pass appropriate orders on the application made by the petitioner’s mother in June, 2001 and on 07.07.2004 for compassionate appointment to the petitioner. 3. In the light of the circumstances explained by the petitioner, the respondents are directed to pass appropriate orders on the representations of the petitioner’s mother made in June, 2001 and on 07.07.2004 regarding their request to appoint the petitioner on bread winner scheme to a suitable post within two (2) months from the date of receipt of copy of this order and pass appropriate orders according to rules. ____________________ (Dr. G.
