For State/Respondents : Mr. Sangharsh Pandey, Dy. Govt. Advocate Hon'ble Shri Justice Sanjay K. Agrawal C A V Order /11/2015 1.

The father of petitioner while working as field assistant in the Water Resources Department died in harness on 19/07/2011 leaving wife Smt. Pushpa Verma and one daughter Smt. Rani Verma (petitioner herein). The petitioner being a daughter of deceased, made an application for compassionate appointment, which has been rejected by respondent No.2 relying upon

Clause-3 of circular dated 10/06/2003 holding that petitioner being married daughter is not entitled for compassionate appointment. 2.

This Court in Writ Petition(S) No. 296 of 2014 (Smt. Sarojni Bhoi v. State of Chhattisgarh and Others) decided on 30/11/2015 has held the Clause 3(1)(c) of circular dated 10/06/2003, to be void and inoperative to the extent of excluding married daughter for consideration from compassionate appointment, therefore, this writ petition is disposed of in similar terms. The petitioner may make fresh representation along with copy of the order dated 30/11/2015 passed in Writ Petition(S) No.296 of 2014 before respondent No.2, who in turn shall consider and decide the case of the petitioner for compassionate appointment afresh in accordance with law expeditiously in light of judgment rendered in Smt. Sarojni Bhoi (supra). Sd/- (Sanjay K. Agrawal) JUDGE Tiwari
