ORDER:
This Writ Petition is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India seeking to declare the action of the respondents in not providing the compassionate appointment in pursuant to letter dated 17.02.2025 to the petitioner in the place of petitioner’s mother namely P. Narasamma who is the deceased employee in the Sericulture Department as illegal and arbitrary.
2. The contention of the petitioner is that based on the application filed by the petitioner, 6th respondent has forwarded the application with recommendations to 5th respondent on 17.02.2025. Despite the receipt of the recommendations, the 5th respondent has not considered and passed any orders. Hence, the present writ petition.
3. Learned Government Pleader submits that the petitioner is not eligible for consideration for the appointment on compassionate as he is over-aged. Even on perusal of the instructions submitted by the District Collector, Ananthapur, the application of the petitioner was not considered and disposed of.
4. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent authorities to consider the application of the petitioner dated 17.02.2025 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law for the appointment of the petitioner on compassionate grounds. No order as to costs.
As a sequel, miscellaneous petitions, pending if any, shall stand closed.
