JUDGEMENT

He claims that several displaced persons have been appointed in Bokaro Steel Plant, as their lands were acquired for establishing the said plant, but the petitioner has not been offered appointment, though the land of the petitioner was also acquired.

The issue of employment of land loosers of Bokaro has already been settled by the Honourable Supreme Court in Civil Appeal No.1774 of 2008, vide order dated 5.3.2008, in the case of Steel Authority of India Ltd. Vs. Daby Lal Mahto & Ors. [2008(3) J.C.R 152 (SC) ]. Paragraphs 9, 10, 11 and 12 of the said judgment reads as follows:

(3.) From this judgment, it is clear that to set at rest the entire controversy, the Honourable Supreme Court had directed that 970 persons whose names have been included in category (ii), as per the order dated 7.4.1998 of the Honourable High Court will be considered for appointment, other things being equal. It is also clear from the said judgment that an advertisement was published for 300 general vacancies and it was mentioned that preference will be given to those displaced persons whose lands have been acquired. This observation/direction finds place in paragraph 12 of the said judgment.
