Civil Writ Petition No. 3351 of 2009 1 IN THE PUNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURT AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No. 3351 of 2009 Date of Decision :18.4.2011 **** Madan Mohan Thatai ........ Petitioner Versus Punjab State Warehousing Corporation, Chandigarh through its Managing Director & another ......... Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH Present : Mr. Vivek Sethi, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Sameer Sachdeva, Advocate for the respondents. **** AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH,J. (ORAL) This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner challenging the charge-sheets issued to the petitioner by the respondent-Punjab State Warehousing Corporation. These very charge-sheets were challenged by the petitioner in an earlier writ petition being CWP No. 19862 of 2006. The said writ petition was dismissed by this Court vide order dated 12.02.2007. The said order was challenged by the petitioner by filing S.L.P. No. 6607 of 2007, which came up for hearing before the Hon'ble Supreme Court on 3.11.2008, when the following order was passed :- “Learned counsel for the petitioner seeks permission of the Court to Civil Writ Petition No. 3351 of 2009 2 withdraw this petition. Permission granted. The special leave petition is disposed of as withdrawn without observing anything on merits.” A preliminary objection has been raised by the learned counsel for the respondents with regard to the maintainability of the present writ petition in the light of the dismissal of his earlier writ petition and the withdrawal of the S.L.P. by the petitioner before the Hon'ble Supreme Court. Learned counsel for the petitioner has asserted that similar writ petitions filed by his co-employees were allowed by this Court against which S.L.P. preferred by the Corporation were dismissed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court. He prays for the entertainment of the writ petition on equity also. This contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner can not be accepted in the light of the earlier writ petition preferred by him having been dismissed by this Court and on withdrawal of S.L.P. filed by him in the Hon'ble Supreme Court challenging the said order. The order dated 12.02.2007, passed by this Court has attained finality qua the petitioner and, therefore, the issue can not be reopened by filing fresh petition by the petitioner. The present writ petition is, thus, dismissed as not maintainable. 18.4.2011 (AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH) 'sp' JUDGE
