The Supreme Court last week directed Bharat Coking Coal Ltd to pay Rs. 2 lakh each to its workmen who have been fighting for 27 years for regularization. Nearly a hundred workers of the Rashtriya Colliery Mazdoor Sangh had moved the Dhanbad industrial tribunal for regularization since 1993. The tribunal had ordered their absorption with back wages. However, cases in the high court and the Supreme Court continued on various issues. Several persons withdrew from the litigation, and others superannuated during the decades-long case.
In order to settle the issues once and for all, the Supreme Court ordered the public sector undertaking, which was sick till recently, to deposit the amounts due as compensation to eligible workers with the central government industrial tribunal within two months for disbursement.
