Smt. Madhuri Tiwari vs The State Of Madhya Pradesh on 8 February, 2024 cites

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.
