Not after such a long time. Rare possibility as CA granted to mitigate hardship faced by family due to sudden death or retirement on medical grounds.

Main purpose is to grant immediate releif. But if present financial condition is still not good and daughter dependent on father, eligible for CA.

- As per law, a married daughter is eligible to get government job , on compassionate ground , after the demise of her father , if she undertakes to look after the other dependent of the deceased.

- Hence, your wife, being the daughter of the retired employee under the medical invalidation is eligible to get the compassionate appointment , on the condition that no other family members are having objection for the same.

- Further, you should know, that the maximum age limit is 35 years in case of a son or daughter for getting the compassionate appointment . 

- The full bench of Uttarakhand High Court comprising , the Chief Justice Ramesh Ranganathan, Justice Lok Pal Singh and Justice R.C. Khulbe observed that "Just as a son continues to be the son of the deceased Government servant, both before and after marriage, so does the daughter. The mere fact that she is married does not result in her ceasing to be the daughter of the deceased Government servant.

When appointment on compassionate grounds is given to a married daughter the object to be achieved is to ensure that such married daughter will look after the other dependent members of the employee's family like the wife  minor children of the employee, his handicapped children, parents, etc. This can be ensured by insisting on a declaration by the candidate for appointment on compassionate grounds that s/he would look after such dependent family members of the employee.

Dear sir,

Each case, there are separate facts and circumstances. If you can show that the earning of the family has been reduced and job of married daughter is necessary to meet sudden financial needs of the family and the same can be solved if the compensatory job is given to married daughter, the same may be given. But, be sure that the path will not be so easy and you may have to fight upto high court for this.

The Compassionate Grounds Appointments are given to any one of the legal heirs of the deceased Government Servant. (i.e.) Wife, Husband, Son, Daughter, Divorcee, Widowed daughter.

The above clearly indicates that the said category are entitled only when the employee is reported to have died in harness.

If the married daughter is dependent on the father even after her marriage at the time of medical invalidation, she may become eligible for the appointment provided all other conditions are satisfied.

If your wife is living separately away from you due to marital disputes and she is staying with her father as his dependent  and without any source of income to sustain her expenses and has already applied for divorce, then she can become eligible for compassionate ground appointment provided your father in law was retired 5  years before attaining superannuation and the application for appointment on
compassionate grounds has  been  submitted within 3 years from the date of medical invalidation.

Your wife may not be eligible for the compassionate grounds appointment based on the referred GO because it is very clear that the dependents only are eligible for this type of appointment.

The reasons that her husband is unemployed and she is staying in her father's house without divorce cannot make her eligible as a dependent on her father.

The compassionate grounds appointment on medical invalidation grounds is also given at par with the same conditions and rules as an employees died in harness.

So you may go through the rules once again properly to interpret the law correctly.

Married daughter cannot become dependent of the father  and they will be dependent of their husband only.

The divorced daughter who is unemployed and staying at her father's house can be considered as his dependent.
