No. Only the legal heirs of the deceased to get compassionate appointment.
Daughter in law of the deceased is not eligible to get Compassionate Appointment.

It depends upon the policy of particular department. If the son of deceased employee is pre-deceased and daughter in law was dependent upon such deceased employee then her case for compensatory appointment can be duly considered.

Yes the circumstances in the house leading to the death of the father in law would determine whether the dependent daughter in law can get the job or not.

Dept will consider hardship to DIL, and her children, and in case there is no source of income to her, and she was totally dependent on FIL, Dept will consider it on humanitarian ground, as no one else claim for the post.

If the daughter in law was dependent over the deceased employee and if she further undertakes to take care of all other dependents of deceased person then the department can entertain her representation to provide her appointment subject to its rules.

Spouse or son/ daughter (including adopted one), or brother or sister (in case of unmarried deased Government servant, are eligible for compassionate appointment, but only in case they were dependent on the deceased employee.
A daughter-in-law is not eligible, unless specifically included in the rules of the concerned department.

Various supreme court judgements clearly says that only the spouse and children of the deceased are eligible for compassionate appointment.
I am enclosing a kolkatta HC judgement, which refers various SC judgements on Compassionate appointment and finally decided that daughter in law is not eligible to get compassionate appointment.
