Respondents\n\n\n        Appeal under clause 15 of the Letters Patent against the order of this\nCourt passed in W.P.No.4927 of 1996 dated 7.3.2002. \n\n\n!For Appellant ::  Mr.B.Divakaran\n\n^For Respondents ::  Mr.V.Radhakrishnan \n\n:JUDGMENT   \n<\/pre>\n<p>(Judgment of the Court was delivered by<br \/>\nTHE HON&#8217;BLE CHIEF JUSTICE)     <\/p>\n<p>                This writ appeal has been filed against the impugned  judgment<br \/>\nof the learned single Judge dated 7.3.2002.  We have heard learned counsel for<br \/>\nthe parties and perused the records.\n<\/p>\n<p>                2.   The  petitioner\/appellant  raised  an  industrial dispute<br \/>\nalleging that he was appointed in 1965 as a temporary worker in the service of<br \/>\nthe Electricity  Board  at  Cheyyar  and  he  was  transferred  to  Pallikonda<br \/>\nconstruction work,  where  he  continued  to work till 1973.  Since he was not<br \/>\nmade permanent he continued to work as a casual worker till the year 1974  and<br \/>\nthereafter he was transferred to Cheyyar Construction division where he worked<br \/>\nas  a  casual labourer till the year 1984 and from 1984 to 1989 he worked as a<br \/>\nwatchman in Vandavasi section.  On 6.1.1989 when he went to work  he  was  not<br \/>\ngiven work  and  his  service was terminated.  The claim of the petitioner was<br \/>\ndisputed by the respondent Electricity Board on the ground that the petitioner<br \/>\nwas appointed only for a short period namely from 15.9.1971 to  31.12.1971  in<br \/>\nCheyyar Division.    He  was also engaged as a watchman only through a private<br \/>\ndetective agency and he was not working under the control  of  the  respondent<br \/>\nElectricity Board.    Therefore,  his  claim  that  he  was  appointed  by the<br \/>\nElectricity Board till the year 1984 was denied by the respondent.\n<\/p>\n<p>                3.  The Labour Court by  its  award  dated  2.8.1995  held  in<br \/>\nparagraph 6 that the claim of the petitioner that he worked from 1965 is based<br \/>\non no  evidence.    There is also no evidence that he worked as an employee of<br \/>\nthe Board at any time after 1972.  In  fact  he  has  sent  a  letter  to  the<br \/>\nSuperintending Engineer, Tamil Nadu Electricity Board, Vellore in 1988 wherein<br \/>\nhe  has  clearly  admitted that he was employed as a temporary casual labourer<br \/>\nand his service was terminated from 4.2.1973.  The petitioner was working only<br \/>\nas a labourer under a private contractor  namely  M\/s.Hindustan  Security  and<br \/>\nDetective services.    This  is  evidenced by Ex.M3 acquittance for payment of<br \/>\nwages for December 1988.  Thus the petitioner  was  working  under  a  private<br \/>\ncontractor and  was  not  an employee of the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board.  It<br \/>\nappears that he was taking small contracts from the Board  but  he  was  never<br \/>\nemployed by the Board.\n<\/p>\n<p>                4.  In paragraph 7 of the award the Labour Court has held that<br \/>\nthe petitioner  has come to Court after a lapse of nearly 23 years.  He ceased<br \/>\nto be a temporary casual labourer from 1972 and was never  in  the  employment<br \/>\nunder the respondent.  In view of this the Labour Court dismissed the claim of<br \/>\nthe petitioner.\n<\/p>\n<p>                5.   The  petitioner  also  filed  a  second  writ petition in<br \/>\nW.P.No.3860 of 1999 for a direction to the Superintending Engineer, Tamil Nadu<br \/>\nElectricity Board to pass orders on the representation made by the  petitioner<br \/>\non 16.4.1996,  27.7.1998  and  17.11.1998.    In  our opinion this second writ<br \/>\npetition  was  not  maintainable  as  it  was  barred  by  the  principles  of<br \/>\nresjudicata\/constructive resjudicata.    The principle of resjudicata is based<br \/>\non sound public policy namely that there must be an end to a litigation.   The<br \/>\nprinciple  of  constructive  resjudicata  is  also similar namely, that if any<br \/>\nthing is pleaded and sought to be proved in the first litigation, it cannot be<br \/>\nallowed to be pleaded and proved in a second round  of  litigation,  otherwise<br \/>\nthere will  be no end to a litigation.  Thus, there is no force in this appeal<br \/>\nand it is dismissed.  No costs.\n<\/p>\n<p>Index:  Yes.\n<\/p>\n<p>Internet:  Yes.\n<\/p>\n<p>ns.\n<\/p>\n<p>To<\/p>\n<p>1.
