IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.13158 of 2010 Brij Pal Vs. State of Haryana & others Present: Mr.Virender Kumar, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** RANJIT SINGH, J. The petitioner was working as an Electrician in Haryana State Minor Irrigation Tubewells Corporation, which was closed on 30.6.2002. On the basis of a policy decision, the Government decided to re-employ all those retrenched employees in various other Corporations. After the decision by the screening committee, the petitioner was re-employed in the office of Director School Education, Haryana on 21.8.2007. He, however, was not permitted to join. Having failed in his various representations, the petitioner finally approached this court by way of CWP No.8727 of 2009 on 16.7.2009. It is thereafter that he was permitted to join the service w.e.f. 21.8.2007. He has now filed this writ petition for claiming salary from the date the decision was taken to absorb him with the respondent-department. The petitioner would have to establish his right in the background that he had not worked for the period for which he is claiming salary. It would be appropriate for the petitioner to file a civil suit to establish his right and claim by leading cogent evidence. Accordingly, the petitioner is relegated to the remedy of filing a civil suit where the disputed questions of fact can be settled. The writ petition is dismissed.
