2. An Item No. 66/1996 has been tabled for discussion in the JCM/DC meeting wherein, it has been pointed out that due to administrative delays in processing cases of appointment on compassionate grounds of wards of medically de-categorized employees, some of these cases become time barred for no fault of the applicant. Several references on this issue have also been received from the Railways, has also from AIRF.
3. The matter has been considered by the Board and it has been decided that in the cases of wards of medically de-categorized employees where the applications for compassionate appointment as distinct from the requests for review of cases already decided, have been received within the stipulated time period of 5 years and the cases have not been finalized within 5 years due to Administrative reasons, the same may be dealt with at General Manager’s level and need not be referred to the Railway Board.
