Chhattisgarh HC Rules Marriage Cannot Disqualify Daughters from Compassionate Jobs
The Chhattisgarh High Court ruled that marital status cannot disqualify daughters from receiving compassionate appointments after their fathers' deaths. The court directed the Chhattisgarh Rajya Gramin Bank to grant such jobs to two married daughters, Sheena David and Ankita Mishra, noting that the bank's scheme does not differentiate between married sons and daughters. It found denying appointments based on marital status discriminatory and ordered the bank to complete the appointments within 90 days, aligning with Articles 14 and 15 of the Constitution.
