C.W.P. No.14654 of 2000 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P. No.14654 of 2000 Date of Decision:02.09.2009 Piara Singh and others .....Petitioners Versus Union Territory, Chandigarh and others ...Respondents Present: None for the petitioner. Ms. Alka Chatrath, Standing Counsel for U.T. Admn. CORAM:HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? -.- K. KANNAN J.(ORAL) 1. The writ petition is filed at the instance of the Masons/Labourers alleged to be working under the Block Development and Panchayat Officer, U.T., Chandigarh. Through the writ petition, they seek for issuance of a mandamus for regularizing their services and to pay all the consequential benefits. The case has been on board for regular hearing but there is no representation for the petitioners either in person or through their counsel. 2. Learned counsel appearing for the respondent-Union Territory placed before me the muster roll of the Panchayat Samiti, Chandigarh that employed all these workmen as daily labourers. I am informed that that Block Development Officer cited as third respondent is also the ex-officio administrator of the Panchayat Samiti. The contention that the Panchayat Samiti is not a party cannot C.W.P. No.14654 of 2000 -2- be taken to be fully correct. 3. Even otherwise, it may not be possible for me to direct regularisation unless the petitioners make out a case that there are regular sanctioned posts which are available to which they could be absorbed. There is no representation coming from the petitioner so it shall not be possible to secure to the petitioners any relief. 4. The writ petition is dismissed. No costs. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE September 02, 2009 Pankaj*
