Solomon Raju, who worked as a Head Cashier in respondent No.2 Bank for almost thirty three years, had passed away on 08.01.2005. Since the only breadwinner in their family was no more, to eke out a livelihood, petitioner No.1 made a representation to respondent No.2 on 22.02.2005, seeking compassionate appointment in favour of her eldest daughter, i.e., petitioner No.2 herein, in a suitable post. However, the said application was rejected by respondent No.2 on 13.08.2005, stating that the petitioners were paid the terminal benefits and that they were also being continuously paid the family pension. Challenging the said rejection order, the present writ petition was filed.
