[Judgment of the Court by T.S.SIVAGNANAM, J.] This writ appeal is directed against the order, dated 22.09.2014, made in W.P.(MD) No.11004 of 2014, which was filed by the first respondent herein, who is none other than the daughter-in-law of the appellant, seeking direction upon the official respondents to provide her compassionate appointment on the demise of her husband V.Rajendrakumar, son of the appellant herein.
2. According to the appellant, the first respondent / daughter-in-law deserted her son during the lifetime. Therefore, she should not be granted any appointment on compassionate ground.
3. Admittedly, the marriage between the said Rajendrakumar and the first respondent / writ petitioner was not dissolved by a decree of divorce. Probably, there might have been differences of opinion between the couple. That cannot be a reason for the appellant to object to the first respondent's application for compassionate appointment. The appellant would have no jurisdiction to object to such a request and it is for the officials of the Electricity Board to consider the application on merits.
4. Thus, for all the above reasons, we are of the view that the appellant has not made out any ground to interfere with the impugned order.
5. In the result, the writ appeal fails and it is dismissed. No costs..
