IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH LPA No. 533 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision: 25.08.2010 Ranjeet Singh …Appellant Versus Presiding Officer, Labour Court, Ambala and another …Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M. KUMAR HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE RITU BAHRI Present: Mr. Joginder Pal Sharma, Advocate, for the appellant. 1. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? M.M. KUMAR, J. 1. This appeal filed under Clause X of the Letters Patent challenges order dated 1.4.2009 passed by the learned Single Judge in CWP No. 5208 of 2009. 2. There are categorical findings by the Labour Court as well as by the learned Single Judge showing that despite the offer made by the Management-respondent No. 2 for taking the workman-appellant back in service on the same post during the conciliation proceedings and thereafter before the Labour Court, he has refused to accept the offer. The aforesaid conduct of the workman-appellant has been taken to be sufficient to show LPA No. 533 of 2010 (O&M) -2- that he was not interested in joining duty after he absented from duty in May 2006. The aforesaid attitude of the workman-appellant further strengthened the finding that he had abandoned the job. The concurrent finding recorded by the Labour Court as well as the learned Single Judge does not warrant any interference by the Letters Patent Bench. Accordingly, the appeal fails and the same is dismissed. (M.M. KUMAR) JUDGE (RITU BAHRI) August 25, 2010 JUDGE Pkapoor
