ORDER:
With
a view to provide immediate relief to the family of a Government Employees who
dies in harness and also to avoid a situation where there are vacancies in some
departments, while the eligible dependent cannot be appointed for want of
vacancies in the department concerned, Government have decided to have a
Central Agency to co-ordinate such appointments by utilising vacancies in the
various Departments. Accordingly, orders were issued in the G.O. first read
above, making the Collector of the concerned District as the nodal authority to
allot eligible dependents to any department for issue of appointment orders.
All the District Heads and Heads of Offices in the District concerned were
requested to notify the vacancies as and when they occur in their offices to
the District Collector concerned. They were also requested to inform about the
applications received from the deceased spouse/children found eligible and
forward the same with their remarks to the District Collector who will monitor
all such cases and issue orders wherever necessary allotting the eligible
spouse/children in any vacancy in any department in the District. The
Collectors were also delegated with the power to create supernumerary posts not
exceeding five in a financial year in each district for accommodating the
dependent of the deceased employees.
2.
In respect of the Heads of Departments in Twin Cities of Hyderabad and
Secunderabad, for monitoring co-ordination and creation of supernumerary posts
etc., for accommodating the dependents of the deceased Government employee
orders were issued in G.O. 2nd read above making the General Administration
(I.C.) Department as the nodal agency.
3.
The General feeling regarding the working of the scheme is that Centralisation
ordered in the G.Os. 1st and
2nd read above is resulting
in delays in making appointments even in normal cases where there are vacancies
and the eligible dependents could be appointed straight away with reference to
their qualifications. The Service Associations have also represented that the
power now vested with the District Collector for making allotment of the
compassionate appointments is not working well and therefore requested that the
Head of the Departments and the appointing authorities may be vested with the
power to make such appointments by themselves instead of processing the cases
through the channel of the District Collector.
4.
Government have carefully examined the matter and decided that in normal cases
where there are vacancies and the eligible candidates could be appointed
straight away such cases need not be referred to the nodal [88] authority.
Accordingly in partial modification of the orders issued in the G.Os. first and
second read above, Government issue the following orders.
(i) Where a vacancy is available and in
eligible dependent could be appointed in such a vacancy with reference to his
qualifications and subject to provisions of rule of reservation, the appointing
authority may appoint him straightaway and duly intimate the fact to the
District Collector/General Administration (I.C.) Department, as the case may
be.
(ii)
In cases where there is no vacancy or the dependent cannot be appointed even if
a vacancy is available as he is not qualified to hold such post or as the
vacancy is meant for Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes/Backward Class
candidate, the appointing authority shall report the vacancy. While forwarding
the application of the eligible dependent to the nodal authority for
appointment to any vacancy in the district/in the twin cities as the case may
be.
(iii)
There may be few cases, where an application is received from an eligible
dependent of a deceased Government employee (viz., in respect of cases covered
by item (i) above) after the appointing authority has notified a vacancy to the
nodal authority. In such cases, the appointing authority should immediately
report of that claim of the dependent to the Collector/Genl. Administration
(I.C.) Department and make such appointment only after obtaining clearance from
the Collector/ Genl. Administration (I.C.) Department, as the case may be such
appointments shall not be made without reference to the Collector/Genl. Admn.
(I.C.) Department under only circumstances.
5.
Government consider, that the reporting of the vacancies by the authorities
concerned and as well as the appointments made under the scheme should be
properly regulated and monitored. The appointing authorities should furnish a
monthly report of the vacancies existing in their offices along with the
details of the applications received from the dependents of the deceased and
forwarded to the nodal authority in the format appended to this order to the
District Collector / General Administration (I.C.) Department as the case may be.
The Nodal Agency should furnish the consolidated information as in part-I of
the former to the Genl. Admn. (Ser.A) Department by 10th of the succeeding
month.
