But without observing the said qualification, the appointments have been ordered and the services of the individuals have been regularized in their cadre of appointment from the date of their joining in the new post and increments released from the date of joining in the service.
According to the guidelines issued under compassionate appointment where the dependent is not fully qualified, he or she can be considered for compassionate appointment subject to acquiring qualification and their services shall be regularized from the date of initial appointment even though he or she acquires qualification at a later date.
