1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR WRIT PETITION NO. 3096 OF 2010. Sanjay Laxman Atkare .vs. Chief Managing Director, W.C.L. Nagpur & others Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Mr. S.S. Deshpande, Advocate for petitioner, Mr. S.C. Mehadia, Advocate for respondents, CORAM : S.A. BOBDE & MRS. MRIDULA BHATKAR, JJ. DATED : AUGUST 24, 2010. The respondent Western Coalfields Limited has rejected the petitioner’s request for employment because his land was acquired on the ground that such nomination for employment can be entertained only if the other co-owners consent. Though it is argued on behalf of the petitioner that there is a finding of the Tenancy Tahsildar that there were no other co-owners, it is equally not in dispute that this issue is sub judice before this Court in First Appeal Stamp No. 17559/08 where the award of the Special Tribunal under the Coal Bearing Areas Act is challenged in which the question 2 of apportionment is pending. Hence, the Writ Petition is rejected. The petitioner may make an application for employment in case the issue in the First Appeal is decided in his favour. Judge Judge J.
