Respected Sir,

            Sub: - Appointment on Compassionate Grounds – reg.

            As, we all are aware, many of officers have expired and their surviving family members are approaching for employment on compassionate grounds but due to various constraints, all such cases have not been considered and are pending with the Administration.

            In the past, the Ministry has considered the hardship of the officers’ family and issued directives to the Cadre Controlling Authorities to give appointment to the eligible family member of the deceased.  But on some pretext or the other the applications have been either not considered or rejected in a perfunctory manner by lower level officers themselves or not been forwarded to the Authority competent to take a sympathetic look and provide relief.

            The Group D (presently classified under Group C) cadre is a link between the field offices and these officers are instrumental in our day to day working so obviously it leaves a void and their importance is felt when we don’t have these officers in offices.

With this concern this Association invites your kind attention towards Ministry’s letter F. No. 12018/01/2014. AD. III. B. dated 18.02.2014 on the above subject matter clarifying the position for recruitment in such cases under the existing recruitment rules till it is repealed. This is apart from other instructions and relaxation given to the authority in such matters.

            In the light of above said instruction it is requested that all such pending cases be considered in all the formation including M & P.  Being the Cadre Controlling Authority of Mumbai Zone, CESA requests you to kindly intervene and instruct your good office to fill up the existing vacancies on compassionate ground with and eligible candidates.

            For this act of your kindness, many family will be benefitted and have no words for this benevolent service.   

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,

A.K. SASMAL

General Secretary
