CWP No.10327 of 1988 -1- In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh. Date of decision:16.12.2008 Poonam Bhasin ... Petitioner Versus The State of Punjab and others ... Respondents Present: Mr.K.L. Kohli, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.SS Sahu, AAG, Punjab, for the respondents. PERMOD KOHLI, J. (Oral): I have heard the learned counsel for the parties at length and perused the record of the case. The petitioner was appointed as Technical Assistant on the basis of recommendations of the Staff Selection Committee vide letter dated 22/24.03.1988. It is alleged that the petitioner completed all formalities and thereafter she was asked for the character antecedents verification which was also completed. She submitted her joining report on 18.10.1988, but was not permitted to join her duties and was further asked to produce the certificate of Punjabi upto Matriculation level. On being not allowed to join duties, the petitioner made representation and ultimately filed the present writ petition. Vide order dated 18.11.1988, this Court allowed the petitioner to join the duty in the absence of a certificate showing that she has passed Punjabi examination of Matriculation standard as desired by the respondents. CWP No.10327 of 1988 -2- Learned counsel appearing for the respondents has very fairly stated that the petitioner was allowed to join on 21.11.1988 in view of the interim orders passed by this Court on 18.11.1988. The petitioner worked thereafter for some time and left the job on being married outside the State. The petitioner, however, claims salary for the period 18.10.1988 to 21.11.1988, the period during which she was not allowed to join the duty and not allowed to work. It is, however, admitted that the petitioner has been paid for the period she has actually worked on the post in question and nothing is due towards the respondents. The petitioner even after joining has left the job on her own. Otherwise also the petitioner having not performed the actual duties on the post is not entitled to salary etc. for the period from 18.10.1988 to 21.11.1988. In view of the above, I do not find any merit in the present petition and the same is hereby dismissed with no order as to costs. 16.12.2008 (PERMOD KOHLI) BLS JUDGE Note: Whether to be referred to the Reporter?
