7. Learned counsel further submits that as the deceased employee was
appointed as Trainee for a period of six months on initial basic wage of
Category-I, no compensation can be granted to his family members in absence of
provision under NCWA. In support of his contention, learned counsel places
reliance upon the decision of this Court rendered in the case of Kunti Devi,
decided on 29.11.2019 in W.P.(S) No. 6040 of 2018. Learned counsel further
argues that even the Division Bench of this Court in the case of Central
Coalfields Limited Vs. Rajan & Ors., decided on 22.11.2017 in L.P.A. No. 393
of 2017 held that those who are working as apprentice, trainee, probationer and
if they expire, their legal heir cannot get the compassionate appointment.
