CWP No.19175 of 2002 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CASE NO.: CWP No.19175 of 2002 DATE OF DECISION: July 2, 2008 STATE OF HARYANA ...PETITIONER VERSUS MOHINDER KUMAR & ANOTHER ...RESPONDENTS CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA. HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA. PRESENT: MR. D.S. NALWA, ADDL.A.G., HARYANA FOR THE PETITIONER. MR. GURINDER PAL SINGH, ADVOCATE FOR RESPONDENT NO.1. ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J.(ORAL) The challenge in the writ petition is to the award (Annexure P-7) dated 14.2.2002, vide which respondent No.2 has been ordered to be reinstated on his previous post with continuity of service and 60% back wages from 23.12.1994, i.e. from the date of reference. Counsel for the workman-respondent No.2 states that the award was implemented partly and the workman was taken back in service on 13.12.2004. The workman is present in Court. He states that he is ready and willing to forego his entire back wages as awarded by the Labour Court. Taking into consideration the equities involved at this juncture, i.e. the workman having being taken back in service and is working since 2004, therefore, we do not intend to disturb the impugned award as far as reinstatement of the petitioner is concerned. Accordingly, we modify the CWP No.19175 of 2002 -2- award (Annexure P-7) with a direction that respondent No.2 shall not be entitled to any back wages. The writ petition is disposed of.
