The petitioner was given compassionate appointment in place of her late husband. After some time as on account of ill health, she could not be able to do her job, she requested the authority to give employment to his son in her place. The respondent exceeded to her request and gave employment to her son who is respondent no.2. Learned counsel submits that respondent no.2 at the time of taking employment had given declaration to look after her mother and his family. The petitioner submits that in spite of the aforesaid declaration respondent no.2 is not taking any care of her. As such the petitioner prays for direction to the respondent to ensure due payment to her from the salary of her son. The respondent Corporation has filed counter affidavit stating therein that it would be difficult for any employer to force his employee to pay maintenance to his parent. Heard the learned counsel for the parties. The petitioner has sought the relief basically on the ground that at her behest respondent no.2 was appointed on his assurance that he would take proper care of her. Though it is desirable that respondent no.2 ought to 2 have taken proper care of his mother, but this Court cannot direct the respondent to provide maintenance to the petitioner from the salary of respondent no.2. However, the petitioner should approach the appropriate authority for redressal of his grievance under appropriate law.
