2. The husband of the petitioner expired on 3.10.2005 while he was working as attender in Sri Kasi Visweswara Swamy Temple, Anakapalli. After his death, the petitioner made a representation to the respondents to consider her case for appointment on compassionate grounds. The 2nd respondent issued orders dated 22.9.2006 granting permission for appointment of the petitioner on compassionate grounds. Accordingly, she was appointed as Sweeper and posted at Bhogalingeswara Swamy Temple, Anakapalli, Visakhapatnam District. But the respondents are paying consolidated pay instead of regular pay attached to her post. The petitioner made a representation dated 11.12.2014 to the 2nd respondent through proper channel requesting him to consider her case for extending regular time scale of pay. But, the 2nd respondent has not passed any orders so far. Hence, the petitioner approached this Court.
