2022 0 Supreme(SC) 1001 : A married daughter does not have a right to compassionate appointment after the death of her father. Compassionate appointment is a concession, not a right, and is granted only to dependants of a deceased employee who are in financial distress. The Supreme Court has held that the object of compassionate appointment is to help the family tide over a sudden financial crisis, not to secure a post for a family member. A married daughter, especially one who is not dependent on the deceased employee, cannot claim such appointment. In this case, the respondent, a married daughter, was not entitled to compassionate appointment after several years of her mother''''s death, as she was not shown to be dependent on the deceased employee. The court emphasized that the appointment is not a source of recruitment and must be evaluated based on the financial condition of the family at the time of application.Checking relevance for Vijaya Ukarda Athor VS State of Maharashtra...
2015 2 Supreme 188 : The legal documents clarify that a married daughter does have the right to compassionate appointment under certain conditions. Initially, the government policy (Government Resolution dated 26.10.1994) restricted compassionate appointments to unmarried daughters. However, a subsequent policy decision dated 26.02.2013 allowed married daughters to be considered for compassionate appointment, subject to fulfillment of certain conditions. The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in rejecting the appellant''''s claim solely on the ground that she was married at the time of appointment, as it failed to consider the subsequent policy change, the delay in decision-making, and the eligibility of the rival claimant. Therefore, the documents establish that a married daughter can have a right to compassionate appointment, especially when the policy has been amended to include married daughters and other relevant factors are considered.Checking relevance for Fertilizers and Chemicals Travancore Ltd.

2022 0 Supreme(SC) 997 : The legal document explicitly states that compassionate appointment is a concession and not a right, and its object is to enable the family to tide over a sudden financial crisis. The document further clarifies that the purpose is not to provide a post to the family, let alone a post held by the deceased. In the specific case, the respondent (a married daughter) had filed for compassionate appointment more than 24 years after her father''''s death in 1995, and the court ruled that such appointment would be against the object and purpose of compassionate employment. Therefore, a married daughter does not have a right to compassionate appointment after the death of her father, especially when a significant period has passed and the conditions for such appointment are no longer met.Checking relevance for Director of Treasuries in Karnataka VS V.

2025 0 Supreme(All) 2391 : A married daughter does have the right to compassionate appointment after the death of her father if she is dependent on him, as the exclusion of married daughters based solely on marital status is unconstitutional and violates Articles 14, 15, and 16 of the Constitution. The court held that eligibility for compassionate appointment must be based on dependency, not marital status, and that discriminating against a married daughter while allowing a son (regardless of marital status) to be considered constitutes invidious discrimination. The court quashed the rejection of the petitioner''''s application and directed reconsideration of her claim, emphasizing that dependency, not marriage, should determine eligibility.Checking relevance for Mamta Rani Verma W/o Madhushudan Verma VS State Of Chhattisgarh...
2024 0 Supreme(Chh) 647 : A married daughter does have the right to compassionate appointment after the death of her father. The court held that excluding married daughters from compassionate appointments violates Articles 14, 15, and 16(2) of the Constitution of India, as it constitutes gender-based discrimination. The policy barring married daughters from such appointments was declared void and inoperative, and the petitioner''''s application was directed to be reconsidered. The court emphasized that marriage does not disqualify a daughter from her father''''s family or from being considered for compassionate appointment, and that there can be no discrimination between married sons and married daughters in public employment.
