Sub: Appointment on Compassionate Grounds.

The question as to whether the wives/ wards of Railway employees whose whereabouts are not known for quite a long time may be offered appointment on compassionate grounds has been considered by the Minis-try of Railways on a reference received in this regard from the Southern Railway. It has been decided that in case an employee’s whereabouts are not known for a period of seven years and consequently his settlement dues are paid to the family the requests from their wives/ wards for appointment on compassionate grounds may be considered, if they are otherwise eligible for such appointment under the extant orders.
