The petitioner's family members were solely depended on the meager income of the petitioner's father for working as Chowkidar at the Primary Health Centre, Lilong. It is said that after the death of his father, petitioner and other members of his family are living in a very bad financial condition. None of the members of the petitioner's family are serving in the service of the Government of Manipur or in the service of the Central Government. 3. It is the case of the petitioner that there is Die-in-harness scheme framed by the Government of Manipur for appointment to the dependent of the deceased Government employee who died-in-harness on compassionate ground. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner further submits that case of the petitioner is squarely covered by the said relevant Die-in-harness scheme prepared by the Govt. of Manipur. On 28.8.2006 the petitioner filed an application to the Director of Health Services, Govt. of Manipur for appointing the petitioner to any suitable post commensurate with his educational qualification under the said Die-in- harness scheme prepared by the Govt. of Manipur. In pursuance of his representation dated 28.8.1996, petitioner also filed another reminder to the Director (Medical & Health Services), Govt. of Manipur. Ultimately, the Under Secretary Health to the Govt. of Manipur under his letter dated 31.12.2002 requested the Secretary (DP), Govt. of Manipur for approval the appointment of the petitioner to any suitable post. Again, the Under Secretary (DP), Govt. of Manipur under his letter dated 2 nd September, 2003 requested the Under Secretary (Home),Govt. of Manipur to consider the case of the petitioner for appointment to any suitable post under the Die-in-harness scheme prepared by the Govt.

Taking in to consideration of the submissions of learned counsel for both the parties and also perusal of the documents annexed thereto in the present writ petition, this writ petition is disposed of by directing the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner for appointment to any suitable post under the said relevant Die-in-harness scheme as expeditiously as possible. 5.
