Subsequently, the petitioner has moved an application for seeking compassionate appointment on 21-03-2017 along with a letter of no objection of rest of the family members. The petitioner has also sent reminder to the respondent No.3 on 27-03-2017 raising his grievance, but till date, the respondents have not passed any order either allowing the application or rejecting the claim of the petitioner. This has forced the petitioner to file the present writ petition. 3.

may be disposed off with a direction to respondent No.3, who in turn, may take a decision on the claim of the petitioner at the earliest. 4.
