CR No. 3605 of 1986 (1) IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CR No. 3605 of 1986 Date of Decision: 21.3.2007 Joginder Singh ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and another ....Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Hemant Gupta. Present: None for the petitioner. Shri Sushant Maini, DAG, Punjab, for the respondents. HEMANT GUPTA, J. The challenge in the present revision petition is to the order passed by the learned Additional District Judge, Jalandhar on 23.7.1986, whereby the order dated 21.11.1985 passed by the Authority under the Payment of Wages Act, 1936 (hereinafter to referred as `the Act') was set aside and the petition under Section 15(2) of the Act, filed by the petitioner, was dismissed. The petitioner has invoked the jurisdiction of the Authority under section 15 of the Act on the ground that his increments have been stopped by the respondents herein which is not permissible. It is the stand of the petitioner that in pursuance of inquiry conducted against the petitioner, orders dated 26.6.1978 and 31.9.1978 were passed whereby increments of the petitioner have been stopped. After hearing learned counsel for the respondents, I am of the opinion that the petition under section 15 of the Act, itself was not maintainable. It has been so held by this Court in the case of State of CR No. 3605 of 1986 (2) Punjab vs. Dildar Singh, 2007(1) Service Cases Today 202 and General Manager, Punjab Roadways, Ropar vs. Swaran Singh, 2001 (3) RSJ 41, that the Authority constituted under the Act, has no jurisdiction to interfere in the orders passed by the Disciplinary Authority against the employee concerned. In view of the above, I do not find any patent illegality or irregularity in the impugned order, which may warrant interference by this Court in exercise of its revisional jurisdiction. Hence, the present petition is dismissed. 21.3.2007 (HEMANT GUPTA) ds JUDGE
