(Oral): CM No.10142 of 2010 For the reasons mentioned in the application, it is allowed, and the writ petition is restored to its original number and file. The writ petition is taken on board for final disposal. CWP No.1928 of 1996 In the present writ petition, a prayer has been made that a writ in the nature of mandamus be issued, and the respondent-Haryana State Electricity Board be directed to answer the following prayers of the petitioner:- (a) service book of the petitioner be completed year-wise from 1972 to June 1996; Civil Writ Petition No.1928 of 1996 -: 2 :- (b) annual increment be also added in the pay scale of the petitioner; (c) additional increments, after completion of 18 years service, be also added in the pay scale of the petitioner; (d) yearly statement of provident fund deducted and deposited in the petitioner's account from year 1971-72 be made update; (e) gratuity and leave encashment and other pensionary benefits be granted to the petitioner. Respondents have filed written statement. In para 4, it has been stated as under:- “It is further submitted that the service book of the petitioner has been completed upto date and all the increments accrued from time to time have been fixed in the pay of the petitioner.” This answers prayers of the petitioner at (a) and (b) above. Regarding additional increments on completion of 18 years service, it has been submitted in para 9 as under:- “It is further submitted that the Policy of Government of Haryana Annexure P-5 which grants additional increments to Group 'C' and 'D' employees, requires regular satisfactory service for grant of additional increments. The services of the petitioner were never satisfactory as he was a habitual absentee as mentioned in the preceding paras.” Since the service record of the petitioner was not satisfactory, therefore, as per instructions, he could not be granted these two additional Civil Writ Petition No.1928 of 1996 -: 3 :- increments. Therefore, prayer at (c) above has been rightly decided by the respondents. Regarding other prayers, in para 14(i), it has been stated as under:- “That in reply to sub para (i) of para No.14 of the writ petition, it is submitted that the Service Book of the petitioner has been completed and all the dues of the petitioner, i.e., pension, gratuity, leave encashment, etc. have been given to the petitioner.” Thus, all the reliefs sought for, have been granted by the respondents, except two additional annual increments on the completion of 18 years of service, to which the petitioner was not held entitled because of unsatisfactory service record. Therefore, this Court cannot come to the rescue of the petitioner and the present writ petition is accordingly disposed of. [Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia] September 01, 2010. Judge kadyan
