married daughter is eligible to get government job of her deceased's father on compassionate grounds, the Chhattisgarh High Court has observed. Justice Sanjay K Agrawal made the observation on Tuesday while hearing a petition filed by Sarojani Bhoi (28) who had challenged the state government on the ground that she was not given the job of her father who passed away in 2011.

The HC cited that "policy of compassionate appointment excluding married daughters for consideration is a retrograde policy of the welfare state, and violative of Article 16 (2) (no discrimination on grounds of religion, caste, sex etc) of the Constitution."

Your wife can apply for compassionate appointment to the dept in accordance with the rules. If her case is not considered by the dept then she can move the High Court for an appropriate relief.

No in the presence of the brother already employed the daughter will not get the job, however you can try filing an application with the facts as mentioned and see if it works out. Lawfully when brother is already employed it is not possible.
