It is the case of the petitioner that application for grant of compassionate appointment to her son, namely, Abhishek Murmu is still pending before the authority. It is the case that authority as yet has not taken a decision, thus a direction may be given to the authority to pass an order considering the case of the petitioner in respect of grant of compassionate appointment. 4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondent-BCCL submits that if the matter is still pending and has not yet been decided, appropriate decision will be taken at the earliest. 5. Considering the submission of the petitioner, I direct the authorities of BCCL to pass a reasoned order on the application of the petitioner for grant of compassionate appointment and communicate the same to the petitioner. If it is found to the petitioner is entitled for the relief as claimed, the same should be extended to the petitioner and if it is found that compassionate appointment cannot be extended to the claimant, a reasoned order should be passed and must be communicated to the petitioner. 6. The entire process should be concluded within twelve weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The petitioner will co- operate with the respondents in this matter, so that proper decision as per law be taken by the respondents. Be it noted that I am not entertained into the merits of the claim of the petitioner. Accordingly, the instant writ petition stands disposed of with aforesaid direction. (ANANDA SEN, J.) R.S.
