I found a solution for you :

$a1 = [['entry_id' => 1, 'file_no' => 'KSBR', 'status' => 'abc'], ['entry_id' => 2, 'file_no' => 'KSUL', 'status' => 'defg']];
$a2 = [['entry_id' => 1, 'file_no' => 'KSBR', 'status' => 'abc', 'type' => 'person'], ['entry_id' => 2, 'file_no' => 'KSUL', 'status' => 'defg']];

print_r(new_array_merge_recursive($a1, $a2));

function new_array_merge_recursive(array $array1, array $array2=array())
{
    $arrays = func_get_args();

    $merge = array_shift($arrays);

    foreach ($arrays as $array)
    {
        foreach ($array as $key => $val)
        {
            if (is_array($val) && array_key_exists($key, $merge))
            {
                $val = new_array_merge_recursive((array) $merge[$key], $val);                                                                                                                               
            }

            $merge[$key] = $val;
        }
    }

    return $merge;
}
