IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. FAO 432 of 1984 DATE OF DECISION : JANUARY 17, 2008 M/S RAM PARSHAD SHADI RAM ....... APPELLANT(S) VERSUS EMPLOYEES' STATE INSURANCE CORPORATION .........RESPONDENT(S) CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: None for the appellant. Mr. BS Bhalla, Advocate, for the respondent. AJAI LAMBA, J. (Oral) In this appeal, the challenge is to order dated 27.3.1984, passed by the Employees Insurance Court, Chandigarh. The petition filed by the petitioner for quashing order dated 30.3.1983 imposing damages amounting to Rs.1,558/- for the period ending May, 1981 to September, 1982, has been dismissed. In para-8 of the impugned order, it has been noticed that due opportunity of being heard was given to the petitioner. This finding is based on notice, Exh.P-1, which indicates service. Vide letter, Exh.P-2, objections were filed. After considering the objections, the impugned order FAO 432 of 1984 2 was passed. The other issue raised was with regard to the assertion of the appellant that the contribution cards were submitted by the appellant and, therefore, no damages could be imposed. It has been noticed in para-9 of the impugned order that the onus was on the petitioner to prove that the contribution cards were submitted. The petitioner failed to establish that the stamps were purchased and affixed in time and, thereafter, given to the respondent. No evidence in this regard was brought on the record. In view of the above, I find no ground to interfere in this appeal. The appeal is, accordingly, dismissed. January 17, 2008 ( AJAI LAMBA ) Kang JUDGE
