However, the petitioner has got another son and daughter.

However, the petitioner has got another son and daughter. Since the surviving son is a disabled person, the petitioner, for the purpose of seeking employment to his surviving daughter, made representations on 17.03.2022 and 13.06.2022 to the respondents. These representations were made by the petitioner on the basis of Rule 12(4) of the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Amendment Rules, 2016 in Annexure I of the Schedule of which in Clause 46(1), it is mandated as follows:- Sl.No.(1) Name of the Offences (2) Minimum amount of relief 46.

Children may be admitted to Ashram schools or residential schools, fully funded by the Government; (iii) Provision of utensils, rice, wheat, dals, pulses, etc., for a period of three months. 5. Since the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 and the provision of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Rules, 1995, is a Special Act and relevant Rules, when the Special Act mandates to provide basic pension along with employment to one of the family members of the deceased, this Court is of the considered view that the petitioner''s claim is entitled to be allowed. 6. The learned Special Government Pleader appearing for the respondents 1 to 3 would submit that since already compensation has been paid to the petitioner, the question of providing employment to the surviving daughter will not arise. 7. 6. The learned Special Government Pleader appearing for the respondents 1 to 3 would submit that since already compensation has been paid to the petitioner, the question of providing employment to the surviving daughter will not arise. 7. Such an argument of the learned Special Government Pleader appearing for the respondents 1 to 3 is not sustainable in view of the fact that the petitioner is relying upon the provision of the Special Act. 8. In view of the same, this Court directs the respondents 2 and 3 to provide employment to the petitioner''s daughter namely Pavithra by considering her educational qualification as per Serial No.46 of Annexure I r/w 12(4) of the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Amendment Rules, 2016 within a period of twelve weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 9.
