Note on compassionate appointment to the wards of GDS employees’ who dies in harness.
……..
Madam
During
the discussions on Strike Charter, we were asked to submit a note on the above
subject when we pointed out the fact that many deserving cases are not being
considered for compassionate appointment and the wards are undergoing untold
hardship/misery. They are virtually in
streets, craving for help.
An
example of a case of Sri Ashok s/o Late Gopalakrishna, GDSMP, Agumbe in Shimoga
Dn of Karnataka Circle was quoted. The
family condition is as follows.

Another Case of Sri K. Srinivasa Rao, S/o K. Rama Rao,
Ex-GDSMD/MC, Tanelauka B.O., A/w Mummidivaram, Amalapuram division—A.P.
Circle. :- Compassionate appointment case of Sri K. Srinivasa Rao, S/o K. Rama Rao, Ex-GDSMD/MC, Tanelauka B.O., A/w Mummidivaram,
Amalapuram division—A.P. Circle was rejected by Circle C.R.C. As per the
revised norms to compute merit points, he was grauted 50 points. Hence his
application was rejected. Those who got 51 points were recommended by CRC.
Points for
consideration.
1.
Restriction of earning minimum points to be dispensed with as the CRC committee
will decide on the indigence of each case on merits.
2.
In the instant cases the wives of late GDS’s financial condition was critical,
family in distress condition. She is
forced to seek widow pension like outsiders being a wife of a Govt. Servant.
Late husbands (of GDS) were Govt. Servants in the eyes of public. In the last round of discussion we have also
given an example of a GDS who is now retired, discharged rather, is a forced beggar.
3.
Most of the cases suffer rejection for the reasons that the wife is normally
illiterate, ineligible and besides incapable to join service because of
illiteracy, overage etc.,
4.
If the sons also become a liability, imagine the plight of the wife/ family.
5.
The financial conditions of most of the GDS will be critical without pension,
inadequate terminal benefits etc., unlike departmental staff. The family cannot survive without regular
income.
6.
Denial of compassionate appointment on the plea of unsatisfactory service
records is blatant injustice done to this section. Such condition is not applicable for
departmental officials. Low salary,
improper service conditions, unintentional mistakes, temporary misappropriation
are the results of many misdeeds by GDS exemption is required for GDS.
Under the above
circumstances it is evident that even deserving cases do not earn minimum 50
points.
In
the light of the above observations and arguments we request you to look into
the matter and cause to remove the restriction of earning minimum points of 50
and above in the interest of justice and natural justice.
Thanking
you,
Yours faithfully,
