RBE No. 80/1988: Appointment on Compassionate Grounds – Relaxation of time limit
No.E(NG)II/87/RC-1/143, dated 19.04.1988
Sub: Appointment on Compassionate Grounds – Proforma for sending proposals relating to relaxation of time limit in cases of death in harness.
1. Attention is invited to D.O. letter No.E(NG)II/78/RC-1/1, dated 15.12.1980 from the then Adviser (IR), Railway Board, addressed to all General Managers, wherein it was laid down that in deserving cases compassionate appointment can be considered even beyond the period of five years if the circumstances of the case are special and they warrant a special dispensation. It was also laid down therein that the relaxation in such cases would be accorded by the Railway Board in individual cases referred to them (Board) with the personal approval of the General Manager.
2. Attention is also invited to Railway Board’s letter No.E(NG)II/84/RC-1/26, dated 18.04.1985 (RBE No. 112/1985) wherein instructions were issued delegating to General Managers powers to consider for compassionate appointment cases over 5 years old but not more than 10 years old, subject to the conditions stipulated therein. Cases beyond 10 years as also cases beyond 5 years but less than 10 years which do not fulfill the conditions laid down in the instructions of April, 1985 could be referred to the Railway Board with the personal approval of the General Manager, if the circumstances of the case justify special consideration. The position in this regard has been clarified in Board’s letter No.E(NG)IV87/RC-1/57, dated 21.08.1987 (RBE No. 218/1987).
3. Such cases (for relaxation of time limit) referred to the Board are necessarily considered on the merits of each case.
4. It has been observed that while sending such proposals some Railways have not been furnishing all the necessary particulars of the case. Hence it becomes necessary to refer back to the Railway resulting in delay in the finalization of such cases. In this context the question of prescribing a proforma for sending proposals for appointment on compassionate grounds in relaxation of time limit, has been under consideration of the Railway Board for sometime. It has now been decided by the Railway Board that henceforth the Railway Administrations should furnish the requisite particulars in the proforma enclosed, while sending proposals for appointment on compassionate grounds in relaxation of time limit. Compliance with this requirement may please be ensured in all such cases referred to the Board in future.
