JUSTICE JASBIR SINGH HON'BLE MR JUSTICE K. C. PURI PRESENT: Mr. Parminder Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner. JASBIR SINGH, J. (oral) Order. Petitioner's service was terminated on November 5, 1986, on account of his absence from duty. Before passing that order, despite opportunity given, the petitioner failed to justify his absence. Punishing authority after regular enquiry ordered his dismissal from service. Petitioner laid challenge to the above said order by filing a civil suit, which was dismissed. He lost in appeal and the R.S.A., filed by him in this Court, was disposed of on August 09, 2007 (Annexure P-2). Reading of the order, passed by this Court, indicates that counsel for the petitioner did not press his appeal on merits. Rather he withdrew the same with liberty that he would press his claim for pension before the authorities concerned. Thereafter, he filed a representation, which was rejected vide order dated February 15, 2008 (Annexure P-4). His claim to get pension has been declined in view of the provisions of Rule 4.19(a) of the Punjab Civil CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 4868 OF 2008 -2- Services Rules, Volume II, as applicable to Haryana. We have gone through the above said provision and are satisfied that dismissal entails forfeiture of the service, rendered by an employee. Dismissal of the petitioner , ordered in the year 1986, has become final. Otherwise also, this writ petition has been filed at a belated stage. No case is made out for interference. Dismissed.
