This writ petition is filed seeking a Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of respondents in not considering the representation of the petitioner dated 18.05.2017 for compassionate appointment in any suitable post as per G.O.Ms.No.118 dated 18.08.1999, as illegal and arbitrary and sought a consequential direction to the respondents to provide appointment on compassionate grounds in terms of G.O.Ms.No.118 dated 18.08.1999.

Heard Mr.Bhanu Murthy Bala, learned counsel for petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Services-II. It has been contended by the petitioner that his father was appointed as daily wage worker with the respondents and while discharging duties he expired on 27.09.2017.

The grievance of petitioner is that he has submitted representation to the respondents on 18.05.2017 to consider his case for appointment on compassionate grounds in any suitable post. But, so far, the respondents have not considered the case of the petitioner nor passed any orders on the representation submitted by the petitioner.

Learned counsel for petitioner submits that appropriate orders be passed directing the respondents to consider the case of petitioner for appointment on compassionate grounds in terms of G.O.Ms.No.118 dated 18.08.1999.

Learned Government Pleader appearing for respondents has contended that the case of the petitioner will be considered in accordance with law and appropriate orders would be passed.

This Court, having considered the rival submissions, is of the considered view that the writ petition can be disposed of directing the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner for appointment on compassionate grounds in terms of G.O.Ms.No.118 dated 18.08.1999 by duly taking into consideration the representation submitted by the petitioner on 18.08.1999 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs.

Pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed. ____________________________ ABHINAND KUMAR SHAVILI, J 14-02-2019 Prv
