Taking another important decision in the interest of women, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath government on Wednesday approved the employment of married daughter of a government official dying during his service under deceased dependent quota in Uttar Pradesh.

Married Daughters Can Now Claim Govt Job On Compassionate Ground

At present, married daughters are not eligible to bag government jobs on compassionate grounds if the father or mother die while in service.

So far, the government has provided jobs to sons, married sons and unmarried daughters on compassionate grounds under the deceased dependent quota. There is a provision to provide Group D jobs to dependents on compassionate grounds or Group C jobs on the basis of educational qualifications, indiatoday.com reported.

Earlier in June, the Allahabad high court had ruled that a married daughter of a government official who dies during his service is as eligible as her married brother for the job on compassionate grounds.

Justice J.J. Munir gave the ruling on a plea by Manjul Srivastava, a native of the state who challenged a June 2020 order of the Prayagraj’s district basic education officer, rejecting her claim to be appointed to her father’s post on compassionate grounds following his death during service.

Many high courts have passed similar orders recently. In December 2020, the Karnataka high court also held that married daughters can seek employment on compassionate grounds. A month before that, the Himachal high court said “there can be no artificial classification between a married son and a married daughter only on the basis of sex”.

In 2019, the Uttarakhand high court said a ‘married daughter’ should be considered for appointment on compassionate grounds and that she should fall within the definition of her parents’ ‘family’, just like a ‘married son’ would be.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
