IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No. 7854 of 2009 Date of decision: 14th July, 2010 Harmesh Lal … Petitioner Versus Director, Agriculture Department, Punjab and others … Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA Present: Mr. Sandeep Arora, Advocate for the petitioner. KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA, J. (ORAL) Petitioner succeeded in the suit and a decree was passed in his favour. In execution application, a grievance was made that even though the entire arrears have been paid, the petitioner should also be paid the amount which was due to him for delay in promotion. The Executing Court, considering the entire gamut of facts of the case and law, held as under: “After hearing their respective contentions and perusal of file it has been revealed that it is not in dispute that the arrears along with interest have already been given to the decree holder by the JDs, but now the DH is claiming those amounts, which are due, due to seniority and promotion granted by the JDs. The decree holder was granted seniority and promotion on the basis of notional seniority and he has also been granted those arrears by the JDs, which became due at the relevant dates. The decree holder through the present execution is claiming those amounts retrospectively for the period for which he has not worked.” Civil Revision No.7854 of 2009 The Executing Court had rightly held that the date of promotion is to be fixed notionally and the principle of ‘no work no pay’ has to operate. Hence, no interference is warranted in the present revision petition and the same is hereby dismissed. [KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA] JUDGE July 14, 2010 rps 2
