casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: Eastern Coalfields Ltd. v. Union of India (CA 1881/2011) The Supreme Court disposed of Eastern Coalfields' appeal with partial modification of a 1998 Industrial Tribunal Award concerning retrenched workers from Buradhemo Colliery. The Court enhanced compensation from Rs. 7,000 to Rs. 50,000 lumpsum per eligible worker and directed monthly subsistence allowance of Rs. 1,000 until age 60 (superannuation), computed retroactively from December 1, 1998. Eastern Coalfields must complete verification of eligible workers within four months and disburse benefits within two months thereafter. The case involved workers retrenched decades earlier and re-employment was deemed impractical given their advanced age. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
