T.Sunitha v. Life Insurance Corporation Of India

HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE ABHINAND KUMAR SHAVILI WRIT PETITION No.6835 of 2019 ORDER:

This matter is being disposed of at the admission stage with the consent of both the parties.

This writ petition is filed seeking a Writ of Mandamus, declaring the action of respondents in not appointing the petitioner in any suitable post under compassionate ground, as arbitrary and illegal and sought a consequential direction directing the respondents to appoint the petitioner in any suitable vacancy as per her eligibility, on compassionate ground.

Heard Sri Amancharla V.Gopala Rao, learned counsel for petitioner and Sri Bathula Rajkiran, learned Standing Counsel for respondents.

It has been contended by the petitioner that her husband was employed with the respondents on temporary basis during June 1990 and her husband had expired on 22.01.2019. Thereafter, petitioner submitted a representation to the respondents on 24.02.2019 requesting them to consider her case for appointment on compassionate ground in any suitable post, but so far, the respondents have not passed any orders on the said representation, nor considered her case for appointment on compassionate ground. Therefore, counsel for petitioner contends that appropriate orders be passed in the writ petition directing the respondents to consider the representation

submitted by the petitioner on 24.02.2019 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law.

The learned Standing Counsel appearing for respondents has contended that the case of the petitioner would be considered and appropriate orders would be passed on the representation submitted by the petitioner.

This Court, having considered the rival submissions made by the parties, is of the considered view that this writ petition can be disposed of directing the respondents to consider the representation submitted by the petitioner on 24.02.2019 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 these observations, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs.

Pending miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed. ______________________________ ABHINAND KUMAR SHAVILI, J 9th April 2019 ajr
