IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH COCP No.1495 of 2009(O&M) Date of decision: 20.8.2009 Bhai Harjit Singh ......Petitioner(s) Versus Avtar Singh Makkar and others ......Respondent(s) CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR GARG * * * Present: Mr. Jagpal Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. Rakesh Kumar Garg, J.(Oral) CM No.19304-CII of 2009 Application is allowed subject to all just exceptions. COCP No.1495 of 2009 The grievance of the petitioner in this case is that his services were wrongly terminated by the respondents. The petitioner has challenged the aforesaid termination by way of CWP No.6826 of 2009 and this Court vide its order dated 6.5.2009 had issued notice of motion and has also passed the interim order staying the operation of the impugned order of termination, in the meantime. It is the further case of the petitioner that in spite of the fact that operation of the impugned order of termination stands stayed, he is not being paid the salary and thus, the respondents are guilty of contempt of the Court. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner. Admittedly, the order dated 6.5.2009 is an ex parte order and the contention of the petitioner whether his service was dismissed legally or not is yet to be decided as the respondents have not entered its appearance in the aforesaid case which is fixed for 28.8.2009. COCP No.1495 of 2009(O&M) -2- In this view of the matter, I am not inclined at this stage to go into the question whether the respondents have committed contempt of this Court by not paying the salary to the petitioner of this period. Dismissed. August 20, 2009 (RAKESH KUMAR GARG) ps JUDGE
