Petitioner is daughter of Kalu Singh deceased, who was working as a peon in the Department of Rural Development and Panchayat, Punjab. She prays that she be given appointment on compassionate grounds as her father died in harness. Her application has been rejected vide order dated 26-2-20071 ( annexure P13) on the ground that since she was already married and was not dependent upon the deceased, hence she was not entitled to be given appointment.
