ORDER
With a view to providing social security to the deserving bereaved member of the family of deceased Government servants who die in harness orders were issued in G.O. first cited enabling the appointment without the medium of Employment Exchange, of a son/daughter or spouse of deceased Government servants to Ministerial posts of Clerks, 'typists and Steno- typists and other lower categories subject to the conditions specified therein.
2. Further, the Government have issued orders in the G.O. second cited that an appointment made under this scheme should be treated as a distinct category in itself not related to Employment Exchange procedure as well as General Rule 22 providing for reservation of appointments and that such appointments have no relation to rosters.
3. During the inspection of offices by the inspecting Assistant Commissioners of the Social Welfare Department several instances are reported to have come to their notice where vacancies meant for the Schedule Caste, Schedule Tribe and Backward Class candidates were filled by the dependent of deceased Government employees, who did not belong to Scheduled Caste, scheduled tribe or Backward Class, as the case may be with reference to the provisions of the above G.O. The Social Welfare department have taken the view that on account of these appointments, the Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe, Backward Class candidates were denied the right of appointment to posts reserved for them according to roster guaranteed by the Constitution of India. They observed that it is unfair and wrong to allow the concessions meant for the dependents if deceased Government employees to over-ride those given to members of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tubes, and Backward Classes. The Social Welfare Department have, therefore, suggested that the dependents of deceased Government servants should not be appointed against the vacancies reserved for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes or Backward Classes unless they are themselves members of those communities and that they should however be appointed only against O.C. vacancies and if there are no O.C. vacancies, their appointments could be postponed till such, vacancies occur relaxing age, qualifications, if necessary. They have also suggested as an alternative that they could be accommodated in supernumerary posts to be created for the· purpose till regular vacancies arise, as according to them, the scheme of providing employment to the dependents of deceased ·Government employees impliedly contemplates the creation of supernumerary posts.
4. The Government consider· that as a special security measure, relief to a qualified and eligible dependents of a deceased Government employee has to be afforded as quickly as possible. The Government accordingly direct that qualified and eligible dependents of deceased Government servants shall not be appointed in the vacancies meant for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tubes and Backward Classes unless they are members of Scheduled Castes or Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes and they shall be considered for appointment in vacancies meant for OC candidates if they are readily available and if no such vacancies are available, they may be appointed against supernumerary posts to be created for the purpose.
5. The supernumerary posts so created shall continue till such time a vacancy arises in the roster for OC candidates. When a regular vacancy arises in the· roster the supernumerary post so created shall automatically cases.
6. The aboe procedure shall also be adopted for the son/daughter/spouse of a deceased employee who belong to Scheduled Castes, Schedules Tribe or Backward Class Community and when there is no vacancy for that community as per the roster
7. This order issues with the concurrence of Finance and Planning (Fin-Exp-HG) Department vide their U.O. No. 5335/ 262/ A2/HG, dated 8th February 1982.
