Petitioner VERSUS State of Haryana, Chandigarh & others. .... Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SATISH KUMAR MITTAL. Present:- Mr. Sandeep Goyal, for the petitioner. Ms. Kirti Singh, AAG, Haryana, for respondent Nos.1, 2 and 4. Mr. Sanjay Chauhan, Advocate, for respondent No.3. SATISH KUMAR MITTAL, J (Oral). The petitioner, who is working as Clerk in Municipal Committee, Palwal, has filed the instant petition for quashing order dared 29.7.2004 (Annexure P-10), whereby his claim for regularization of his services w.e.f. 1.7.1998 in view of the Policy of regularization dated 8.10.1999 has been rejected. Undisputedly, in this case the petitioner has been regularized w.e.f. 24.12.2003. It is the case of the petitioner that he was employed on monthly wages w.e.f. 6.4.1995 and his services were dispensed with on 2.10.1997. He has challenged his termination order in the Labour Court. The Labour Court has set aside his termination order vide Award dated 20.4.1999 and he was ordered to be reinstated with Civil Writ Petition No.9238 of 2007 -2- 50% back wages. Admittedly, the benefit of continuity of service was not granted to him. In view of the said fact, the Deputy Commissioner, Faridabad, has rejected his claim for regularization of the services w.e.f. 1.7.1998. It is conceded position that under the Policy of Regularization of 1999, an employee, who had completed three years of ad hoc service prior to January, 1999, was entitled to be regularized w.e.f. 1.7.1998. Since the petitioner was not in service at that time, therefore, he was not given the benefit of regularization w.e.f. 1.7.1998 under the said policy. In view of this conceded position, this petition has no merit and the same is, accordingly, dismissed. 3rd August, 2009. (SATISH KUMAR MITTAL) Monika JUDGE
