1. Kindly refer to the instructions contained in Board’s letter No.E(NG)II/84/CL/28, dated 31.12.1986 (RBE No. 256/1986) wherein it was laid down that wards of Casual Labour with temporary status, who died in harness, could be considered for appointment as Casual Labour (fresh face) or as substitute, under the personal discretionary powers of the General Manager.
2. These instructions were to be effective from 31.12.1986 to 31.12.1988 but were later extended upto 31.12.1991 vide Board’s letter No.E(NG)II/84/CL/28, dated 06.11.1989 and still later made applicable on a lasting basis beyond 31.12.1988 vide Board’s letter No.E(NG)II/84/CL/28, dated 06.12.1990 (RBE No. 233/1990).
