VIJAYA UKARDA ATHOR(ATHAWALE) vs STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND OTHERS

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's writ petition for compassionate appointment was justified under the policy decision of the State Government, which excluded married daughters from eligibility prior to 26.02.2013. The Court emphasized that the appellant's marital status at the time of the appointment rendered her ineligible, despite her earlier applications as a minor and later as a major. The appeals were dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
