Versus
Central Coalfields Limited through its Chairman-cum-Managing Director – Respondent
JUDGMENT :
Rajesh Shankar, J.
The present writ petition has been filed for issuance of direction upon the respondents to provide compassionate appointment to the petitioner’s son namely, Shankar Kumar Turi since her husband died in harness on 16.12.2020 while posted as Pump Operator, Water Filter Plant at Dhori Area, Bokaro. Further prayer has been made for issuance of direction upon the respondents to pay all admissible retiral dues to the petitioner including the provident fund along with statutory interest which is lying in CMPF Account No. KGL36-369 in the office of the respondent no. 6 in the name of deceased husband of the petitioner.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that Birsa Turi – husband of the petitioner was a permanent employee of Central Coalfields Limited and was posted as T/R in Water Filter Plant at Dhori Area, Bokaro, who died in harness on 16.12.2020 at Muskan Hospital and Research Centre, Chas. He died leaving behind his widow i.e., the petitioner, one son – Shankar Kumar Turi and one daughter – Savitri Kumari, whose names appear in the service record.
3. It is further submitted that the names of the petitioner and her dependents also appear in PS-3 and
The court affirmed that benefits must be granted based on official records of the deceased employee, rejecting arbitrary denial based on unverified claims.
Compassionate appointments confer moral responsibilities, and neglecting dependent obligations undermines the underlying purpose of the appointment.
The legitimacy of children born from a void marriage is recognized, and compassionate appointment cannot be denied based on the lack of a succession certificate.
