ORDER
In G.O. Cited, Government directed that the scheme of compassionate appointments of son/daughter/spouse of a government servant who dies in harness, 1 as a social security measure for immediate assistance to the family on passing away of Government servant in harness, was extended to the son/daughter/spouse of a government servant who is retired on medical invalidation under Article 441 of Andhra Pradesh Pension code (Vol. l).
2. In their Office Memo. cited the Government of India have stated that it has been noticed that of late there had been a spate of Officers proceeding on retirement on Medical Certificates on various grounds and also claiming the appointment of their wards, to Government service on compassionate grounds. In several cases such retirements are sought towards the fag end of the service, that is, about the time the officer would have-normally superannuated. Unlike the cases of death occurring where the family of the Officer gets only a family person, the Officer retiring on medical grounds in such cases, would also be getting full or nearly full pension, consideringthe cases of the wards of such officers for compassionate appointments would be contrary to the spirit of the scheme itself under which the raison deter of granting the concessions to those retiring on Medical grounds was that they had to leave service substantially prematurely.
3. With a view to allow the benefit of the above concession to really deserving cases, the Government of India have decided that the benefit of compassionate appointment should be confined to cases where Government servants retire on medical grounds before attaining the age of 55 years.
4. The Government, after careful consideration have decided to restrict the benefit lo such of the Government servants, who retire on medical grounds before attaining the age of 50years. They accordingly direct that the concession allowed in the G.O. read above should not be extended to cases where the Government servant has retired on medical invalidation on or after attaining the age of 50 years.
