The appellant No.1 is the daughter of the deceased of one Chittaranjan Roy who died-in-harness while working as Assistant Teacher in a primary school on 26th April, 2003. The appellant No.2 who is the widow of the deceased submitted an application for compassionate appointment on 26th July, 2003 at a point of time when the appellant No.1 was a minor. The said application was forwarded to the District Inspector of School (S.E.) Nadia by a Memo dated 27th May, 2004 for consideration of her appointment as a Group ‘D’ employee in any secondary school as the widow does not possess requisite qualification for the post of Primary Teacher under Council. It appears that she made a further representation on 16th June, 2011 for consideration of her appointment as Group ‘D’ employee in a secondary school as she did not possess the requisite qualification for the post of primary teacher. This application appears to have not been considered. The appellants did not receive response from the concerned authority, however, in the meantime she received all the pensionary benefits including family pension. It was on the attainment of the majority of appellant No.1 that a separate representation was made on 25th October, 2017 to the respondent No.3, vide order dated 10th January, 2019 on the ground that since her daughter was under aged at the material time, she could not be given appointment.
