RAMANA Writ Petition No.17863 of 2007 Order: The husband of the petitioner died in harness on 09.09.2002 while working in the respondent-Organisation. Thereupon, she made a representation in the month of February, 2003 to the Sub-Divisional Engineer-MM, Office of the MM Telecom District, Srikakulam, requesting to provide compassionate appointment, who after conducting necessary enquiry by his letter, dated 21.10.2004, forwarded all the relevant documents to the second respondent to consider the case of the petitioner for compassionate appointment, but no orders have been passed till date by the second respondent. Hence, she filed the present writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for BSNL. Both of them agreed for disposal of the writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent to pass appropriate orders. Since the case of the petitioner for compassionate appointment is said to be pending consideration before the 2nd respondent, and in view of the agreed stand taken by both the counsel, without going into the merits of the matter, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions: The 2nd respondent, namely the Sub Divisional Engineer (Administration), Office of GMTD, BSNL, Srikakulam-532 001, is directed to consider the representation of the petitioner, if any pending before him, in the light of the report submitted by the Sub-Divisional Engineer-MM, Office of the MM Telecom District, Srikakulam, vide letter dated 21.10.2004 and pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law, within a period of three months.
