Gurdeep Singh .....Petitioner versus The Punjab State Power Corporation and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Amandeep Singh Manaise, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner joined the respondent-Corporation as a daily wager w.e.f. 1.3.1988. He was retrenched from service on 1.1.1989 which he successfully challenged before the Labour Court, Gurdaspur. The petitioner was ordered to be re-instated in service vide award dated 18.1.1999 and he resumed his duties on 20.10.2000. Thereafter, he has been brought on work-charged establishment w.e.f. 31.3.2003 vide order dated 25.11.2004. The petitioner now claims that he ought to have been brought on work-charged establishment from the date of his appointment as a daily wager, namely, 15.7.1990. In this regard, the petitioner has served the respondents with a legal notice dated 24.6.2010 (Annexure P-13) also but C.W.P.No .18403 of 2010 2 without any response thereto. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner, however, without expressing any views on the merits of the petitioner's claim which he has already raised by way of a legal notice dated 24.6.2010 (Annexure P-13) also, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent No.4 to consider the petitioner's claim as contained in the above mentioned legal notice, and dispose of the same by passing a speaking order, preferably within a period of four months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. October 11, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
