CWP (T) No.8138 of 2008 04.08.2009 Present: Mr. Vikas Bhardwaj, Advocate vice counsel, for the petitioner. Mr. R.K. Sharma, Senior Additional Advocate General with Mr. Rajinder Dogra, Additional Advocate General, for the respondents. The petitioner was appointed on 28.3.1993. He is seeking regularization. It has come on record that the petitioner’s services stood terminated vide notice dated 20.4.2002. There is nothing on record to suggest that the petitioner had assailed the notice of termination dated 20.4.2002. In these circumstances, the relief prayed for cannot be granted to the petitioner. It was necessary for the petitioner to specifically challenge the notice of termination. Consequently, the writ petition is dismissed. However, it is made clear that if the petitioner assails the notice of his termination in any appropriate forum, he will be permitted to take up the plea of non-regularization of his services. No costs. (Rajiv Sharma), J. August 4, 2009. (rkv)
