1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURWE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 8838 OF 2009 The Commissioner for Co-operation and Registrar, Co-operative Societies, M.S., Pune. ..Petitioner. Vs. Mr. Bapu Maruti Mhaske. ..Respondent. Mr. S.N.Bhosale, AGP. for the Petitioner. ...... CORAM : R.S. MOHITE, J. DATE : 9TH DECEMBER, 2009 PC: 1 This is a writ petition filed by the Commissioner for Co-operation and Registrar, Co- operative Societies, Maharashtra State, Pune against an order passed by the Industrial Court on 16.4.2008 directing reinstatement of the present respondent with 50 per cent back wages. The record indicates that the complainant was working from 1992-93. The 2 finding of fact is that he has continuously worked for 240 days per year. Further finding is that he was retrenched without giving notice and retrenchment compensation under the Industrial Disputes Act. In such circumstances, Industrial Court granted reinstatement with 50 per cent back wages. Point which is sought to be argued is that his original appointment was irregular. In this regard, neither the appointment orders are annexed nor recruitment rules produced. Legal procedure relevant for the purpose of appointment has not been adduced in the evidence. This contention therefore, cannot be accepted. Second question which is raised is that, the relief for regularization was refused. In my view, mere refusal of regularization cannot entitle the petitioner to effect termination of service in an illegal manner. It is contended that yet another complaint for grant of permanency status is also pending. That aspect has also no bearing for the 3 issue which has been decided in the impugned order. Hence, petition is rejected. (R.S. MOHITE, J.)
