Decided On April 22, 2019
R.Bala Abirami Appellant
V/S
SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) The relief sought for in the present writ petition is for a direction to direct the first respondent to provide appointment on compassionate ground to the writ petitioner whenever the vacancy arises.

(2.) The learned counsel for the writ petitioner made a submission that the writ petitioner is the daughter of the deceased employee late Shri Sivanandam, who was employed as a Rural Indian Medicine Practioner at the Siddha Hospital at Ovilgudi, Needamangalam, Nagapattinam District and passed away on 13.12.2004.

(3.) Admittedly, the application seeking compassionate appointment was filed by the writ petitioner on 19.12.2017 and on 8.1.2018, after a lapse of about 13 years from the date of death of the deceased employee. However, the learned counsel for the writ petitioner states that the family of the writ petitioner is in penurious circumstances and the scheme of compassionate appointment is to be extended to the writ petitioner.
