indigent circumstances. Therefore, a representation was given on 23.10.2013. But sadly, the third respondent has not taken any action on her representation dated 23.10.2013. Therefore, another representation was given on 28.10.2013 to the second respondent, who has rejected the case of the petitioner on 12.4.2016 on the ground that the petitioner is a married daughter, hence, she is not entitled to get the compassionate appointment. As against that, another representation was given on 17.5.2017 bringing to the notice of the respondents that G.O.Ms.No.78, Labour and Employment (Q-1) Department dated 21.4.2017 specifically says that there is no bar for a married daughter to get the benefit of compassionate appointment.
