Affidavit of service, as filed, be kept with the record. 2. The petitioner is aggrieved that in spite of the order dated 15.05.2025 passed by the West Bengal State Administrative Tribunal, as well as an appropriate recommendation from the Executive Engineer, as reflected from the documents of 04.11.2025 and 27.11.2025 (copies whereof are kept on record as part of the report), respondent no. 2 has not taken any steps to decide on the issue of the compassionate appointment of the petitioner. 3.
