    Case Summary: WA/471/2026 The Chhattisgarh High Court dismissed an appeal by Shiv Prasad (step-son) challenging an order directing South Eastern Coalfields Limited to reconsider compassionate appointment eligibility for Ku. Shakuntala (unmarried daughter of deceased employee). The court held that under National Coal Wage Agreement Clause 9.3.3, unmarried daughters rank higher in the dependent hierarchy than step-sons, making the writ petitioner eligible for reconsideration despite both claimants failing to produce No Objection Certificates from each other. The court clarified that compassionate appointment is a welfare measure independent of succession proceedings. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
