Court's or Judges Order =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Mrs.R.S.Sirpurkar, Adv. for the petitioner. Mr.S.C.Mehadia Adv. for the respondents. C ORAM : D.K.DESHMUKH AND R.K.DESHPANDE, JJ. DATED : 16th September, 2010. The relevant facts are that one Shamrao Murteli was in the employment of the respondent. He died on 17/11/2001. His wife Vimal was given employment. She also died. Therefore, the petitioner, who is daughter of deceased employee, made an application that her brother, who is a minor, should be kept on a live roster. That application has been rejected. Therefore, this petition has been filed. We have seen the relevant rules. The scheme of the relevant rules is that an employee, who becomes disabled due to accident on duty, if he has a widow, she is to be given employment/monetary compensation and if that does not happen then male dependent of the concerned 2 worker is kept on live roster, if that male dependent is of 12 years of age or above. The petitioner is claiming the son to be put on live roster on the basis of the death of the mother. The relevant rules show that when the female employee died, a son can be given an appointment but there is no provision for keeping minor son of such female employee on live roster. Only minor son of a male employee, who is about 12 years of age, can be kept on live roster provided employment/monetary compensation is not given to the widow. Such facility is not available to female employees. Therefore, in our opinion, the respondents have rightly rejected the claim of the petitioner. Petition is, therefore, dismissed. JUDGE JUDGE. pzc
