The prayer made in this writ petition is to direct the respondent to appoint the petitioner on compassionate grounds in any post to which she is found eligible and qualified. 2.Today, when the matter was taken up for consideration, the learned counsel for the petitioner as well the learned counsel for the respondents jointly submitted that the issue at hand is no longer res integra, in view of the judgment rendered by a Division Bench of this Court in WA.No.3899 of 2019 on 11.03.2020, the operative portion of which, is profitably extracted hereunder:

"23. No doubt, the learned Single Judge has not discussed about applicability of Board Proceeding Nos.46 and 17, which are the schemes framed by the respondent Department for considering appointment on compassionate basis. Instead of remanding the matter https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

back to the learned Single Judge, we have found it appropriate to discuss the scheme and pass a judgment more particularly the fate of the appeal is the same as that of the writ petition. The Writ Appeal is dismissed. No Costs."
