Termination of service upheld due to lack of disciplinary proceedings; compassionate appointment denied due to delay and non-existent service at the time of death.
Compassionate appointment denied due to delay, prior refusal indicating no immediate destitution, not a vested right exercisable after years.
Compassionate appointment not a vested right; rejected due to delay, substantial terminal benefits exceeding limits, and family self-sufficiency.
No disciplinary proceedings can be initiated against a deceased employee; any termination order issued posthumously is void and ab initio.

Compassionate appointment is an exception and a concession, not a right, and should be made strictly in accordance with the rules. Long delays can lead to the rejection of compassionate appointments.
