In the G.O. cited orders have been issued for providing relief to the spouse or dependent children of deceased Government servants who die in harness while in service by appointing them in posts pay of which is equal to less than that of Lower Division Clerk subject to their satisfying the principles and conditions stipulated in the said G.O.

 

2. A doubt has now been raised whether or not the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Public Employment Order, 1975 are applicable to the cases of appointments made on compassionate grounds under the aforesaid G.O.

3. The appointment of dependents of Government employees who die in harness to any post can be only by the method of appointment by direct recruitment. Therefore, the provisions of para 8 of the Andhra Pradesh Public [53] Employment (Organisation of Local Cadre and Regulation of Direct Recruitment) Order, 1975, apply to such appointment. As per sub-para (1) of para 8 of the said order, 80% of the posts to be filled in by direct recruitment, at any time in respect of posts mentioned therein, are reserved in favour of local candidates in relation to the local area in respect of such cadre and 20% of the said posts are not reserved and can be filled in by the method of direct recruitment by any person whether local or non-local Sub-para (8) of para 8 of the said order provides, inter alia, that there shall be atleast one unreserved post while making recruitment to the posts in any cadre at any time. The purpose sought to be achieved by the said para is that there shall atleast be a minimum of one unreserved post while making direct recruitment, at any time to any local cadre-vide para 14 of G.O.P.No.729, General Administration (SPF) Department, dated 1^st November, 1975. If the dependent of a deceased Government employee happens to be a non-local, such person can be appointed by the method of direct recruitment to any one of the 20% unreserved posts in any local cadre or to the post left unreserved out of the posts filled by direct recruitment at any time to any local cadre as provided in sub-para (8) of para 8 of the said Order.

 4. The Departments of Secretariat and the Heads of Departments are requested to bring the above clarification to the notice of all appointing authorities for their guidance.
