Job on compassionate grounds

Dear Sir,

My mother-in-law was a customs officer and died on duty, when wife was on 5 months old. And her father left her alone; she was grown-up by her uncle (her mother’s brother). Now she is jobless and I’m working in a Private BPO sector. Shall we go for “Job on compassionate grounds?”.

· She is going to complete 28 Years old on April 1, 2011.

· She belongs to FC (Forward Caste).

· She got two children.

Please guide as. I’m living in Pondicherry?. Recently I read a news that

The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court has come to the rescue of a person, whose application seeking appointment on compassionate grounds.

1. Please let me know what are steps required to start the process?

3. Where to start?

Thanks in advance.

Dear Sir,

I'm listing the other Expert Opinion on the same, received from

https://www.lawyersclubindia.com/experts/Job-on-compassionate-grounds-173376.asp

Compassionate ground appointments are meant for providing financial assistance to the family of deceased employer, which the family from due to sudden death of bread earner of the family. This right can be claimed within reasonable time. From the query, it is evident that the claim of claimant in the present case is highly belated and she survived herself during the intervening period. Thus I don't thing, law of compassionate ground appointment will help her.

Please let me know is it possible. My wife lived without Parent, nobody there to look after her after me. I'm a private employee.

Thanks in advance.
