Decided On February 15, 2018
Mukilan Raja Prabhu Appellant
V/S
DISTRICT ELEMENTARY EDUCATIONAL OFFICER Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) The order of rejection issued by the first respondent vide proceeding dated 13.07.2012 in relation to the claim of the writ petitioner for compassionate appointment is under challenge in this writ petition.

(2.) The order impugned dated 13.07.2012 states that the wife of the deceased employee, Smt.M.Indira was employed as Noon Meal Organizer in a Government school. Thus the scheme of compassionate appointment cannot be made applicable in respect of the legal heirs of the deceased employee.

(3.) The learned counsel for the petitioner states that the father of the writ petitioner Late.Shri.M.Manoharan was employed as Record Clerk in the Additional Elementary Educational office at Rajapalayam, Virudhunagar district and passed away on 05.02.2011, while he was in service. The father of the writ petitioner was earning a sum of Rs.15,000/- per month at the time of death and the mother of the writ petitioner was employed as Noon Meal Organizer, which is a part time employment. Thus the family was unable to meet out the expenditure from and out of the meagre monthly salary received by the mother of the writ petitioner. Under these circumstances, an application seeking appointment on compassionate ground was preferred by the writ petitioner and the same was rejected. Thus the writ petitioner is constrained to move the present writ petition.
