Divorce Between Parents Does Not Extinguish Biological Son's Right To Compassionate Appointment
Under the Rajasthan Compassionate Appointment of Deceased Government Servant Rules, 1996, the status of a son as a "dependent" cannot be negated solely because his parents were divorced and he resided with his mother. Appointment granted to a second wife under the widow quota does not extinguish the independent right of a biological child to claim compassionate appointment under the 1996 Rules.
