In the petition, it has not been disclosed on which<\/p>\n<p>post he was selected and appointed and till when he had worked on the said<\/p>\n<p>post. It is the case of the petitioner that no appointment letter was issued to<\/p>\n<p>him. It is further stated that the said appointment was made in view of the<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">           C.W.P. No.15540 of 2007                                 -2-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Government decision dated 20.12.1996 wherein it was decided that to<\/p>\n<p>substitute the strike workers, the appointment be made from the open<\/p>\n<p>market. It is further the case of the petitioner that subsequently the workers<\/p>\n<p>on strike returned to work and thereafter the services of the petitioner were<\/p>\n<p>terminated. In the petition, it has not been stated that when the services of<\/p>\n<p>the petitioner were terminated and how many days he had worked. It is<\/p>\n<p>further averred that on 13.5.1997 the Government had issued the<\/p>\n<p>instructions to the effect that the employees who were engaged during the<\/p>\n<p>strike period should be adjusted against the vacant posts, but no step was<\/p>\n<p>taken by the respondents in terms of those instructions. It is further the case<\/p>\n<p>of the petitioner that he had been repeatedly approaching the respondents by<\/p>\n<p>making detailed representations, but no action was taken. It is further the<\/p>\n<p>case of the petitioner that on 21.3.2006, Haryana Government had issued<\/p>\n<p>fresh instructions to all the Deputy Commissioners in the State, calling upon<\/p>\n<p>them to give the details of the employees who had worked during the strike<\/p>\n<p>period in the Municipal Committees. In pursuance of the said instructions,<\/p>\n<p>respondent No.3 submitted a detailed list to the office of respondent No.2 in<\/p>\n<p>which the name of the petitioner finds mentioned as an employee who had<\/p>\n<p>worked during the strike period. The petitioner also served a legal notice<\/p>\n<p>upon respondent Nos.2 to 4. When no action was taken on the said legal<\/p>\n<p>notice, the petitioner filed the instant writ petition.<\/p>\n<p>             In the written statement filed on behalf of respondents No.1 to<\/p>\n<p>3, it has been stated that the petitioner did not work during the strike period<\/p>\n<p>with Municipal Committee, Tosham (Bhiwani) and the question of issuance<\/p>\n<p>of any appointment letter to him and taking him back in service does not<\/p>\n<p>arise.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">           C.W.P.

As per the records of the Municipal Council,<\/p>\n<p>Bhiwani as well as Municipal Committee, Tosham, the petitioner had not<\/p>\n<p>worked at all during the strike period, which subsisted from 16.12.1996 to<\/p>\n<p>4.3.1997. It has been stated that the petitioner has manipulated his name at<\/p>\n<p>a later stage only to come illegally in municipal service. It has been further<\/p>\n<p>stated that the name of the petitioner never figured in the list of employees<\/p>\n<p>of strike period prepared in the wake of policy Annexures P-2 to P-4 and<\/p>\n<p>forwarded to respondent No.2 in the year 1998. It has been stated that as per<\/p>\n<p>the cash book and accounts, the petitioner was never paid any wages during<\/p>\n<p>the strike period. It has also been specifically stated that the name of the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner was forwarded by the Deputy Commissioner vide Annexure P-8\/T<\/p>\n<p>only on the basis of an application submitted by him without looking into<\/p>\n<p>the record. It has further been stated that the petitioner has manipulated his<\/p>\n<p>name at a later stage only to come in municipal service after a lapse of seven<\/p>\n<p>years of the policy dated 13.5.1997 (Annexure P2) without having worked<\/p>\n<p>during the strike period. The averments made on behalf of respondents No.1<\/p>\n<p>to 3 and 4 have not been controverted at all.\n<\/p>\n<p>            After hearing the counsel for the parties and going through the<\/p>\n<p>record of the case, I am of the opinion that the petitioner has filed false and<\/p>\n<p>frivolous petition by claiming that he was appointed during the strike period<\/p>\n<p>by SDM, Bhiwani and the Executive Officer, Municipal Committee,<\/p>\n<p>Bhiwani, and after some time his services were terminated. In the petition,<\/p>\n<p>even the petitioner has not disclosed on which post he was appointed and up<\/p>\n<p>to which time he remained on that post. From the record, it appears that the<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">           C.W.P. No.15540 of 2007                                -4-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>petitioner has totally made a false claim only on the basis of letter dated<\/p>\n<p>25.4.2007 (Annerxure P8\/T) written by the Deputy Commissioner, Bhiwani<\/p>\n<p>to the Director, Urban Local Bodies, Haryana to the effect that the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>had worked during the strike period from 24.12.1996 to 22.2.1997 in<\/p>\n<p>Municipal Committee, Tosham. In the written statement filed on behalf of<\/p>\n<p>the respondents, it has been specifically stated that the petitioner did not<\/p>\n<p>work at all in Municipal Committee, Tosham (Bhiwani) and the said letter<\/p>\n<p>was written only on the basis of the application made by the petitioner,<\/p>\n<p>without verifying the facts from the records. If the petitioner had worked<\/p>\n<p>for a particular period, he could have mentioned the said fact in the writ<\/p>\n<p>petition. No such period has been mentioned in the writ petition. Further,<\/p>\n<p>on 19.2.2007, the State Government had issued another policy letter to all<\/p>\n<p>the Municipalities in the State, thereby conveying its decision not to re-<\/p>\n<p>adjust the employees who had worked in the Municipalities during the<\/p>\n<p>strike. The said policy decision has been upheld by this Court in CWP<\/p>\n<p>No.5280 of 2006 (Narender Kumar Versus The Municipal Council, Ambala<\/p>\n<p>City and others) decided on 11.03.2008, and rejected the claim of<\/p>\n<p>appointment made under the previous policy. Keeping in view all these facts<\/p>\n<p>and circumstances, I am of the opinion that this petition has been filed on<\/p>\n<p>false facts. The petitioner was never appointed during the strike period and<\/p>\n<p>he never worked and drawn any salary from Municipal Committee, Tosham<\/p>\n<p>(Bhiwani).\n<\/p>\n<p>             Hence, this petition is dismissed with costs, which are assessed<\/p>\n<p>as Rs.10,000\/-.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<pre>October 13, 2009                       (SATISH KUMAR MITTAL)\nvkg                                            JUDGE\n <\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Punjab-Haryana High Court Sumer Singh vs State Of Haryana And Others on 13 October, 2009 C.W.P.
