5. The learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that the impugned order dated 04'09'2018 rejecting the request of the petitioner on compassionate grounds as a dependant of the deceased employee on the ground that once marriage is performed, a daughter is not dependent on her father/mother even she or her husband are un-employed' The impugned order of the 1't respondent further indicates the reasoning that a married daughter is dependent on her father/ mother if she is living with her father/mother when her husband .:.:a:*rtt 7 SN, J \!'P 6504 2023 deserts h€:r ' disappears for years together or rlies In such cases, the hL s,band should not have left any properlylincome to his wife arc1 the married daughter is solely depend€nt on the support prtvi 1r.:d by her father/mother and is an un_r_,n]pl6y6s.

7. The learned Standing Counsel for Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sev,rerage Board (HMWS & SB) appearing for the respondent Nos.1 and 2 mainly put forth the following submissions. The petitioner is a married daughter and therefore she is not a dependant on the deceased employee' The brother of the petitioner had been appointed as a Constable and therefore, the petitioner cannot be provided with employment' The certificate issued in favour of the petitioner is that of Tahsildar and not that of Revenue Divisional Officer' The petitioner is living with her husband and two children and therefore she cannot be termed as dependant on her mother' As per the Memo dated 20.03.2024 issued by the Government once marriage is performed, a married daughter is not dependent on her father/ mother even if she is un-employee or her husband is unemployee. A married daughter is dependent on her father/ mother if she is living with her father/mother when her husband deserts her or disappears for years together or dies'

11. The material on record clearly indicates a certificate issued in favour of the petitaoner by the Tahsildar dated 20.O4.2Otg certifying that the petitioner as totally dependent on her mother Smt.Susheela Bai. The material on record also indicates that no objection affidavit dated 76.05.20L7 with all the particulars had been furnished to the respondents indicating the willingness of other family members for providing employment to the petitioner on compassionate grounds as dependant of the deceased employee. The grounds put forth by the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondents placing reliance on the averments made in the counter affidavit filed on behalf of the respondents are not indicated in the impugned order dated 04'09.2018 passed by the 1't respondent and the effort is made to improve the case of the respondents through the counter affidavit filed on behalf of the respondents which is not permissible under law. The pre- conditions as per the Memo dated 2O.03.2OO4 had not been examined admittedly by the 1"t respondent herein I 1I SN, J \lP 6504 2023 applying to the case of the petitioner in particular by verifying th : supportive documents of the petitioner and mechanicall t, unilaterally, the case of the petitioner had been rejected stating that the petitionei is not dr:pendant of the decela sed employee since the petitioner is rr married daughter a,rd living with her husband ancl has two children arrc therefore, the petitioner cannot be,termed as rn her deceased mother. This Corurt opines dependant ' that the seri l reason is contrary to the Scheme itself and also the ob servations of the Division Bench Judgment referred to e nd extracted abovef this Court opinesi that the petitioner is entitled for examination of petition,er's case as per the Memo No.4O6l1OlA.1/ Admn.It/2tOO4, Dt 2O,O3.2OOZ! dr.rly taking into consideratio:r of the documents : upported by the petitioner in support of the petitioner':; case indicating that the petitior.Der is a dependant o' the deceased ernployee.
12. This (lr rlrt opines that the judgn'rents relied on by the learnecl itanding Counsel for Hyderatrad Metropolitan Water Strpgrly and Sewerage Board (HMVVS & SB) .r 1 r t2 SN, J wP 6504 2023 (" appearing on behalf of the respondent Nos.l and 2, do not apply to the case of the petitioner.
13. The object of compassionate appointment is a social security measure to support the family of the deceased government servant, who dies in hbrness. The aim and object of the policy tor compassionate appointment is to provide financial suppoft to the family of the deceased employee, who left the dependents in distress and penury. The core aim of the object of providing compassionate appointment is to relieve the family from financial sufferings being faced for the sudden demise of the Bread Winner of the family. The sufferings being faced by the dependents of the deceased employee for sudden demise of the Bread Winner could be solved for some extent by providing compassionate appointment to one of the dependents of the deceased employee to look after the family. The said relief should not be denied on flimsy grounds defeating the very object of the compassionate appointment. L4. In N. Uma vs. The Dire r of Elementarv School Education & others, Writ Petition No. 25366 of 2OO8, l3 SN. J Wl' {t504 2023 decided on 22.O9.2017, the High Court of Madras has observed ;rr hereunder: '13. r the S;l givirrrl dau()lrt Gov : -r the) sr daurlht of t1 s m ot'r :l action Conr;l it equirlit Gov : -r on :lrr rest -ia:l the above judgments have clearly observed that 'r Government should not discriminate inspite of ::ompassionate appointment to ther sons and -'s of the deceased employee \'/hen the r.ent is giving appointment to the married sons, ruld not deny to give employment 1o the married : -s.

We have perused the order passed by this Court in W.P.No.16242 of 2013. In the said case, the respondent- applicant was married daughter and she failed to produce any proof to show that she vras staying with the deceased father at the time of his death. Further, the respondent- applicant in the said case was residing in a separate house along with her husband and was eking her livelihood by sewing the garments, and despite that, this Court held as u nder: "Even if the applicant is residing in a separate house that by itself, is not a ground to reject the claim of appointment. So far as the income of the applicant is concerned, it is proved that she is not having any independent income to live on her own and she is also taking care of the mother (widow of the deceased employee). No valid reasons were recorded by the authorities to reject the claim of the applicant for compassionate appointment."
6. We further note that in the aforesaid case, the respondent-a pplica nt therein challenged Memo No.406, dated 20.3.2004 based upon the other facts. In the present case, in the report filed by the Revenue Divisional Officer on social and economic status of the petitioner, it is specifically stated that the widow of the deceased employee is having three daughters, and all daughters are married, and the petitioner, who is the elder daughter of the deceased employee, along with her husband was staying with the deceased at the time of his death and the other two daughters of the deceased employee were staying with their respective husbands separately. In the said report, it is further stated that the petitioner and her mother are living in the address whereat the deceased used to stay. and that there are no earnlng members in the applicant's family and there are no movable or immovable properties in the name of any of the family members of the applicant and that she has no source of income as the deceased was the sole bread winner of the family, and the social economic status of the applicant is not sound and they are unable to sustain their livelihood in the absence of '; '.& l5 SN, J uP 6i04 2023 the pr r irry bread winner of the family.

On perusal of the said rne'no/ it i.hat there are three pre-conditions for getting i:rnate appointment especially, when ihe ilplrlicant 't:d daughter.

It pertinent to mention that the learned Counsel for the petitioner before the Tribunal has mentioned about the case of this Court decided in W.P.No.16242 of 20L3, wherein the memo and the social and economic conditions of the respondent-a pplica nt therein were considered by this Court. However, the learned -fribunal. ignored those facts and rejected the application filed by the petitioner herein.
8. We are of the considered view that the case of the petitioner herein is on a better footing than the respondent-a pplica nt in W.P.No.16242 of 2013 and therefore, the petitioner is entitled to be appointed in a suitable post on compassionate grounds. The proceedings of the 2nd respondent dated 25.1.2017 are set aside. Consequently, the order of the Tribunal dated 1.8.2017 in O.A.No.1771 of 2017 is set aside. We hereby direct the respondents-authorities to appoint the petitioner on compassionate grounds in a suitable post and issue appointment letter to her, within four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order".
