EASTERN COALFIELDS LTD vs ANADINATH BANERJEE(D)

The Supreme Court addressed the entitlement of the respondent to employment from Eastern Coalfields Limited following the acquisition of land. The court examined a tripartite agreement that stipulated employment for landowners whose holdings exceeded two acres. It was determined that the respondent was not included in the rehabilitation list prepared by the authorities, thus denying his claim for employment. The court upheld the High Court's decision affirming the Single Judge's ruling.
