Western Coal Fields Ltd. & Ano. ) ........................................................................................................................................................................ Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court orders or directions Court's or Judge's Order and Registrar's orders ........................................................................................................................................................................ Shri R. S. Kurekar Adv for petitioner. Shri S. C. Mehadia Adv for respondents. CORAM: B. P. DHARMADHIKARI & A. P. BHANGALE JJ. DATED: 11th OCTOBER, 2011. . Perused reply affidavit. Facts show that the land of petitioner was acquired and Section 6 Notification was issued on 30.09.2004. After that Notification petitioner had transferred part of his land to one Kishore Kawade and employment was sought in favour of that Kishore. As the transfer was after commencement of acquisition proceedings employment was rejected. Petitioner is born to owner Nilkanth on 17.08.1991 and after attaining majority he sought employment as an dependent of project affected person. The respondent has pointed out in the reply affidavit dated 26.07.11 that such employment could have been granted if acquired land was more than three acres or then 2 the employment was sought immediately. Shri Kurekar learned counsel for the petitioner has invited attention to additional affidavit to urge that even persons from whom small portion have been acquired have been provided employment. However, compassionate employment is an exception to normal rules and, therefore, must be strictly regulated by its terms and conditions. Petitioner has not pointed out any policy decision or condition which permits person like him attaining majority later on to claim such employment. No decision enabling persons whose lands having area of less than three acres are acquired to claim employment is also pointed out. Hence in this petition we are unable to examine the grievance as made. Petition therefore rejected. JUDGE JUDGE svk
