IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition No. 213 of 2010 (S/S) Sudhir Singh ………..Petitioner Versus Union of India & others …….Respondents Shri N.K. Papnoi, learned counsel for the petitioner. Shri V.B.S. Negi, learned Asstt. Solicitor General of India. Dated: 06 April, 2010 Hon’ble V.K. Bist, J. Heard learned counsel for the parties. Present writ petition has been filed by the petitioner for quashing the oral termination of the petitioner and also for a direction to the respondents to consider representation of the petitioner dated 06.04.2009. Further prayer has been made for a direction to the respondents to pay entire salary of the petitioner w.e.f. December 2008 to March 2009. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that petitioner belongs to Scheduled Caste category and was appointed against a substantive post on 17.03.2003 and in view of the fact that the petitioner had worked more than 240 days every year, the services of the petitioner could not be terminated without following procedure prescribed in the Industrial Disputes Act. 2 Learned counsel for the respondents, on the other hand, argued that the petition is not maintainable and petitioner should be directed to avail the remedy available to him under the Industrial Disputes Act. On this the learned counsel for the petitioner confined his prayer and prayed that the writ petition be disposed of with a direction to the respondent no.2 to consider his representation dated 06.04.2009. Learned counsel for the respondents does not have any objection to this prayer. In view of the above discussions, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent no.2 to decide the representation of the petitioner dated 06.04.2009 by reasoned order within a period of two months from the date of production of certified copy of the order. Stay application no.2233 of 2010 stands disposed of. (V.K. Bist, J.) Arpan 06.04.2010
