The Chairman, Tamil Nadu Electricity ... vs Arulnathan And Ors. [Alongwith W.A. No. ... on 26 June, 2003

13.The learned counsel for the petitioner has relied upon the judgment of the Division Bench of this Court in the case of the Chairman, Tamil Nadu Vs. Arulnathan And Others [2003 (3) MLJ 726] and another judgment in the case of Chairman, Neyveli Lignite Corporation, Neyveli, Cuddalore District v.

It is to be noted that the Hon’ble Division Bench has categorically observed that, in matters of employment of persons who were displaced by acquisition of lands, no right is conferred to such persons to seek for employment under Article 21 of the Constitution of India or under any law. It was further observed that the land owners, whose lands were acquired, are only entitled to compensation. If a scheme for employment of one person from one family of land owners is framed, it may confer right for considering the request for employment by families of displaced. Except a scheme that may be formulated at the time of acquisition, it cannot be said that there was a promise to the members of displaced families so as to bring promissory estoppel. In the present case, it is not the case of the petitioner that there was a promise at the time of acquiring the petitioner's lands or there was a scheme framed by the Government or Public Sector Undertakings that while acquiring the lands, employment guarantee was given to the members or descendants of persons who lost their lands, which was acquired for the Public Sector Undertakings for their projects. However, by virtue of subsequent orders of Government, in compliance of directions of Government, respondents have issued the recruitment notification specifically earmarking/reserving a particular post under the category of land given case.
