It is the grievance of the petitioner that even after the police verification and medical examination, the appointment letter of the petitioner has not been handed over to him. 3. The father of the petitioner died in harness while working in Bharat Coking Coal Limited as a Pay Loader. The petitioner applied for grant of compassionate appointment and it is the case of the petitioner that the decision was taken by the respondents to appoint the petitioner. 4. The petitioner was medically examined by the Company for the purpose of grant of employment and it is also case of the petitioner that police verification has also been done. The grievance of the petitioner is that since his brother’s wife, after all these processes have been concluded, filed a Complaint Case being C.P. Case No.617 of 2021 against this petitioner and all family members for offence under Sections 323, 341, 451, 452, 453, 354, 504 and 506 of IPC, respondents have paused the process and did not issue the appointment letter. It is his case that the petitioner has also been granted anticipatory bail in the said complaint case. 5. On the aforesaid submission, time was granted to the respondents twice i.e. on 09.11.2025 and 16.12.2025 to seek instruction. The respondents failed, and did not file any affidavit. Thus, I dispose this writ petition, directing the respondents to issue the appointment letter immediately within two weeks to the petitioner, if the petitioner is otherwise eligible. The fact of lodging of the complaint case against the petitioner will not come in the way of issuing the appointment letter. 6. With the aforesaid observation and direction, the instant writ petition stands disposed of. (ANANDA SEN, J.) 13th January, 2026 R.S./ Uploaded on 15 /01/2026.
