and violative of Article 16 of Constitution of India.

Committee for Employees, Teachers and Workers, Andhra Pradesh and also from the

the orders of the Government dispensing with the scheme of compassionate appointment.
The issue was examined by the Cabinet Sub-Committee on Service Matters. Keeping

Invalidation, the Cabinet Sub-Committee on Service Matters in its meeting held on

to the post of Panchayat Secretary with a basic pay of Rs. 2870 + HRA + DA to the
dependents of Government employees who retired on medical invalidation before issue

ii) The Appointments will be given only to the eligible dependents
of Government employees who retired from service on Medical Invalidation before
