1 - 6 of 6 (0.19 seconds)Secr.,Ministry Of Defence Secretary vs Babita Puniya on 7 July, 2020
This recent judgment in Babita Puniya(Supra) is a very
important step to ensure "Gender Justice". In view of
catena of judgments referred hereinabove, it can be safely
concluded that Clause 2.2 to the extent it deprives married
woman from right of consideration for compassionate
appointment violates equality clause and cannot be
countenanced. By introducing Clause 2.4, the Government
partially recognised the right of consideration of married
daughter but such consideration was confined to such
daughters who have no brothers. Clause 2.2, as noticed,
gives option to the living spouse of deceased government
servant to nominate son or unmarried daughter. There is no
condition imposed while considering a son relating to
marital status. Adjective/condition of "unmarried" is
affixed for the daughter. This condition is without there
being any justification and; therefore, arbitrary and
discriminatory in nature.
