In

of Government Employees as a social security measure. The candidates eligible

Government Servant or the dependent children of the deceased Government Servant
who died in harness, there being no other earning member in the family.

In para 2 (viii) of the G.O. second read above, it was ordered that the minimum qualification required to hold the post of Junior Assistant in the Heads of Departments / Directorates is Degree and in Subordinate Offices Intermediate and that the candidates for Compassionate Appointment who do not possess the said qualification can be considered for appointment, if they possess at least Intermediate / Tenth Class qualification respectively, by giving reasonable time to acquire higher qualification prescribed under rules to hold such post.

of three (3) years to acquire Intermediate Qualification and five (5) years for
acquisition of Degree Qualification be allowed in respect of candidates
appointed to the posts of Junior Assistants in the Subordinate Offices and

6. A
doubt arose, whether the orders issued in G.O. Ms. No. 289, General Administration(Ser. A) Department, dated 04-08-2000 extending the time limit by one year to
acquire the qualification was in continuation of the orders issued in G.O. Ms.No. 969, General Administration (Ser. A) Department, dated 27-10-1995. It is
clarified that the orders issued in G.O.Ms. No. 289, General Administration (Ser.A) Department, dated 04-08-2000 extending the time limit by one year to acquire
the qualification is applicable from the date of issue of the G.O. and shall
have prospective effect only. In respect of the cases wherein the time limit
to acquire the qualification expired on the date of issue of the G.O. 6th
cited; such cases alone shall be considered to allow one more year time limit
to acquire the qualifications. Further, the validity of G.O. Ms. No.289,General Administration (Ser. A) Department, dated 04-08-2000 was expired by
03-08-2001.
