Singh, Advocate for the respondent. *** PERMOD KOHLI.J (ORAL) The award of the Labour Court passed in favour of the petitioner was challenged in CWP No. 15908 of 2007, wherein, this Court on November 13, 2007 passed the following order:- “ In view of above, while admitting the petition for further consideration and continuing the stay against the payment of back wages, we decline stay of reinstatement as per the impugned award.” COCP No. 1774 of 2008 -3- Reply has been filed stating therein that the petitioner has been reinstated which fact has been acknowledged by learned counsel for the petitioner. His grievance is that the petitioners are being paid the wages, which were being drawn at the time of their termination and in view of the award their services have been continued. Therefore, at least their wages are to be paid giving them the benefit of continuity in service on reinstatement. Though, the directions of this court for reinstatement have been carried out, however, the respondents are required to pay the wages to the petitioners treating their service as continued. Though, they are not required to pay back wages to the petitioners. The respondent will re-fix their wages in accordance with the above observations within a period of three months from today subject to filing a representation by the petitioner, if, not already filed. With these observations, these petitions are disposed of. A copy of this order be placed on record of each file. (PERMOD KOHLI) JUDGE 24.12.2008 lucky
