LAKHU BAURI Vs. CENTRAL COALFIELDS LTD

JUDGEMENT

(1.) HEARD counsel for the parties.

(2.) THE grievance of the petitioner as expressed in this writ application is that though he is entitled for the grant of compassionate appointment on the basis of his mother's service who had died -in -harness while under the employment of the respondent C.C.L. on 23.8.2003. the respondent employer has refused to grant compassionate appointment to the petitioner only on the ground that petitioner's brother -in -law has already been provided employment in the C.C. L. against the services of the petitioner's father some time in the year 1991.

(3.) PER contra, the stand taken by the respondents is that the petitioner's brother - in -law was given employment on the basis of the concession made by the petitioner's father who, while opting for voluntary retirement, had nominated his son -in -law namely the petitioner's brother - in -law for employment in service as his dependent.
