3.Today, the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent Bank has submitted that the scheme providing compassionate appointment was scraped from 04.10.2004 onwards in the respondent Bank. He has further submitted that ex-gratia payment of Rs.6 lakhs has already been paid to the petitioner in lieu of compassionate appointment on 25.07.2012 in PAD/178/CL/135/2011-2012. 4.Since, there is no scheme providing compassionate appointment in the respondent Bank, the direction as sought for by the petitioner could not be issued. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed. No costs.
