Compassionate Appointment | Married Daughter Eligible If Undertaking to Support Deceased Employee’s Dependents : MP HC Jabalpur
The Madhya Pradesh High Court has ruled that a married daughter is entitled to compassionate appointment provided she formally commits to supporting the deceased employee’s dependents, reinforcing gender-inclusive interpretations of service rules. This decision builds on Meenakshi Dubey and Kulsu precedents, dismantling outdated assumptions that marital status disqualifies daughters from family-based employment benefits in government service.
