(1.) HEARD Shri Mukesh Kumar Sinha, learned counsel for the petitioner and JC to Shri Ananda Sen, learned counsel for the respondents.

(2.) PETITIONER in this writ application, has prayed for a direction upon the respondents to grant employment to the petitioner on compassionate grounds in terms of Clause 9.3.2 of the N.C.W. Agreement -V in view of the fact that the petitioner's father, who was permanent employee under the CCL, had died in harness on 11.7.2007. A further prayer has also been made for a direction to the respondents to forthwith release the death -cum -retiral benefits along with statutory interest to the petitioner which was payable in the account of his deceased father.
