In view of the aforesaid factual matrix of the case, this court is of the opinion that ends of justice would meet if this court is disposed of with a direction to the respondent No.1 to take an appropriate decision on petitioner's claim for grant of compassionate appointment keeping in view the decision of this court in case of Smt. Sarojni Bhoi (Supra) as well as subsequent modification that has been brought in respect of the policy of the compassionate appointment of the State Government. 6. It is ordered accordingly. 7. Let a suitable decision be taken by the respondent No.1 in this regard within a period of four months from the date of production of a copy of this order. 8.
