The Written Instructions read as under: Late Sri D.S. Raju, who served as a Superintendent in the Board of Intermediate Education. Andhra Pradesh (BIEAP), passed away while in service on 20/02/2016. Following his demise, his family faced financial distress, leading to a request for a compassionate appointment for his son, Sri D. Shivananda Raju. The Hon'ble High Court of Andhra Pradesh, in W.P. No. 20974 of 2018, directed the Intermediate Education Board to examine and take a decision on the request. However, the request was initially delayed due to issues related to state bifurcation (AP & Telangana) and eligibility verification. Sri D. Shivananda Raju, son of late Sri D.S. Raju, holds a B.A. degree from Kakatiya Open University. As per G.O.Ms.No.17 (2011), a Junior Assistant position requires a degree with a computer certificate. The government, therefore, decided to grant a conditional appointment as a Junior Assistant, provided he acquires a computer certificate within two years. In compliance with the orders of the Hon'ble High Court of Andhra Pradesh in W.P. No. 20974 of 2018, the Board approved his appointment as a Junior Assistant on compassionate grounds. The appointment orders were issued on 18/07/2024 under File No: ESE51-11/45/2023-A SEC-BIE. 4. Learned counsel for the Petitioners would submit that recording the said submission, the Writ Petition may be disposed of. 5. In that view, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. Pending applications, if any, shall stand closed. DR.JUSTICE VENKATA JYOTHIRMAI PRATAPA Mjl/* 3 HON’BLE DR. JUSTICE VENKATA JYOTHIRMAI PRATAPA Writ Petition No. 20974 of 2018 24.03.2025 Mjl /*
