Orders
Summary of WP/4727/2024 The Bombay High Court (Nagpur Bench) allowed the petition filed by agriculturists whose lands were acquired by Western Coalfields Ltd. for mining operations. The court directed WCL to process their employment applications under the Rehabilitation and Resettlement Policy within eight weeks, clarifying that pending civil litigation regarding land ownership cannot justify rejecting employment claims. The petitioners must provide an undertaking that any employment granted shall be provisional and contingent on the outcome of the civil suit, with no claims for permanent benefits if they are later found ineligible. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
