No.E(NG)II/86/RC-1/20, dated 24.06.1987

Sub: Appointment on compassionate grounds to the wards of Railway employees retired on medical grounds.

1. Attention is invited to the provisions in Para-512(ii) of the Indian Railway Medical Manual, which lay down that where malingering is established, the Railway servant should be declared unfit for all cases.

2. A question has been raised whether in a case where a Railway servant is declared unfit for all posts in terms of the said Para-512(ii) of the Medical Manual and is retired from Railway service, compassionate appointment to the ward of such a Railway servant would be admissible.

The Board have considered the matter and have decided that in such cases compassionate appointment would not be admissible.
