S.B. :Hon'ble Shri Justice Manindra Mohan Shrivastava Order On Board 06/10/2016 Heard.

2.

Learned counsel for petitioners submits that the issue involved in this petition is squarely covered by order dated 15-03-2016 (Annexure P-12) passed by this Court in WPS No.4994 of 2015 (Smt. Asha Pandey vs. Coal India Ltd. and others), wherein it has been held that there cannot be any discrimination against married daughter in the matter of consideration for grant of compassionate appointment.

3.

The only operative reason for rejection of petitioner's application for grant of compassionate appointment is that the petitioner happens to be a married daughter. In view of order, which has been passed by this Court, the petitioner's claim could not have been rejected on this ground.

4.

Accordingly, this petition is finally disposed off with a direction to the respondents to consider the petitioner's claim in the light of order passed in the case of Smt. Asha Pandey (Supra).
