Supreme Court Rules Married Daughters Eligible for Compassionate Appointments
The Supreme Court ruled that married daughters cannot be excluded from the definition of 'family' for compassionate appointments, overturning a 2019 government order and a High Court decision. The Court emphasized that dependency, financial need, residence, and ability to fulfill dealership duties are relevant, while marital status is not. It stated that marriage does not sever a daughter's bond with her parental family, deeming the exclusion arbitrary and unconstitutional.
