Section 47 says that there should not be any discrimination in government employment. That means it has nothing to do with employment in private sector.
Once compensation under Workmen's Compensation Act is paid, there is no question of reemployment to a totally disabled person.
Compassionate appointment is governed by the company's policy and it is not compulsory that a private firm should give compassionate employment.
