Vagala Mohana Rao, v. The State Of Andhra Pradesh,

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE V. RAMASUBRAMANIAN AND THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.GANGA RAO WRIT PETITION No. 40678 OF 2017 ORDER: (Per VRS,J) Aggrieved by the dismissal of his claim for compassionate appointment by the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal (for short 'the Tribunal'), the petitioner has come up with the above writ petition.

2.

Heard Mr. B.Parameswara Rao, learned counsel for the petitioner.

3.

First of all, the deceased government servant was not the father or mother of the petitioner. He was the grandfather of the petitioner. On the ground that his grandfather went missing, the petitioner made a claim for appointment on compassionate grounds after the expiry of seven years from the date on which he went missing. By that time, the grandfather had already crossed the age of retirement. 4.

The scheme for compassionate appointment cannot be converted into a scheme for hereditary appointment, for the Government to provide appointment to the lineal descendants of the deceased government servant. The second aspect is that according to the respondents, the grandfather of the petitioner had already crossed the age of superannuation by the time he went missing. Therefore, the

VRS,J & MGR,,J WP No. 40678 of 2017 Tribunal was right in rejecting the claim. We find no reasons to interfere with the said order.

5.

Hence, the Writ Petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. Consequently, miscellaneous petitions if any pending in the writ petition shall stand closed.
