11-2008 and not taking any further steps as per the letter No.E2/684(1)/2013-PTR, dated 23-05-2013 of the 3rd respondent as arbitrary, illegal and violative of Article 21 of the Constitution of India and consequently direct the respondent corporation authorities to dispose of the petitioners representation dated 26-11-2008 and also direct the respondents to initiate further steps consequent to the letter No.E2/684(1)/2013-PTR, dated 23-5-2013 of the 3rd respondent in respect of compassionate appointment scheme (Job Under Bread Winner Scheme) of the 2nd petitioner.
