IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.18337 of 2010 Dilbagh Singh Vs. Central Government Industrial Tribunal-cum-Labour Court-II, Chandigarh & others Present: Mr.Rajesh Sehgal, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** RANJIT SINGH, J. The petitioner had remained absent for over a period of five years. He was dismissed in the year 1997 and after two years, he had approached the respondents in the year 1999, when he was told that he had already been dismissed on 10.2.1997. The dismissal order was passed after holding ex-parte enquiry. Sincere efforts were made to serve the petitioner not only at the stage of enquiry but subsequently also, when the show cause notice was issued alongwith enquiry report. The petitioner declined to accept service at every stage. Evidence is available on record, which would show that the petitioner declined to accept notices. The Labour Court has also gone into this aspect and having regard to the service condition of the petitioner came to conclude that normal requirement of service and the effect of refusal in terms of law in such like cases would not apply to this case in view of the peculiar conditions governing the cases. No case for interference, therefore, is made out. Dismissed. October 14, 2010 ( RANJIT SINGH ) ramesh JUDGE
