Constitution of India, Arts.14 and 15(1) -- Fair Price Shop -- Married Daughter -- Dependent Quota -- Dependency, not marital status, is the governing criterion for allotment of a fair price shop under the dependent quota -- The expression "daughter" must be read to include a married daughter, provided she establishes dependency on the deceased dealer and satisfies local residence and other eligibility conditions -- Exclusion of married daughters on the assumption that marriage severs ties with the natal family rests on gender stereotypes and violates Arts.14 and 15(1) of the Constitution.
