Regular Second Appeal No. 1420 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Regular Second Appeal No. 1420 of 2009 (O&M) Date of Decision: 31.3.2009 *** Punjab State Electricity Board Appellant VS. Ms. Sushma Nayar Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ARVIND KUMAR, Present:- Mr. H.S. Sidhu, Advocate for the appellant. ARVIND KUMAR, J. After having lost concurrently before the two Courts below, the defendant Board has preferred the instant appeal filed under Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 and have laid challenge to the judgments and decrees passed by the Courts below whereby they have been directed to regularize the services of the plaintiff from the date on which she was initially given appointment i.e. 9.7.1979 instead of 15.3.1996. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have perused the paper book carefully. It is apparent from the records that the relief of regularization of service from the date of initial appointment, to which the plaintiff- respondent was found entitled concurrently by the Courts below, was admittedly given by the appellant-Department to similarly situated employees pursuant to the directions given by this Court as well as Hon'ble Apex Court, but not to the plaintiff. Thus, it has been held that the Board cannot discriminate the plaintiff in extending the relief, which admittedly was given by them to the similarly situated employees. The law touching the dispute has rightly been appreciated by the Courts below, as discernible from paras 14, 15 and 16 of the judgment rendered by the learned first Regular Second Appeal No. 1420 of 2009 2 Appellate Court below. In view of this there is no room to interfere in the concurrent findings recorded by the Courts below. It cannot be said that the findings returned by the Courts below suffer from any illegality or perversity or that the same are based on no evidence. No question of law, much less substantial question of law arises for determination in this regular second appeal, which is accordingly dismissed in limine. (ARVIND KUMAR) JUDGE March 31,2009 Jiten
