Present: Mr.Anupam Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.N.D.S.Mann, Addl.A.G.Punjab, for the State. ***** RANJIT SINGH, J. This order will dispose of two Civil Writ Petition Nos.11378 of 1991 (Ram Murat Vs. The State of Punjab and another) and 15059 of 1991 (Thakar Dass Vs. The State of Haryana and another). These writ petitions were ordered to be heard after the decision of LPA No.310 of 1991. The said LPA was decided on 21.11.2001 by a Division Bench of this Court. The Court has held as under:- “Respondent-petitioner was a work-charge employee of the Haryana State Electricity Board. He was discharged from service by order dated 15.4.1988, Annexure P-1. He was admittedly paid provident fund dues under the scheme for Contributory Provident Fund, which is different from the provision made for pension etc., in the Civil Writ Petition No.11378 of 1991 : 2 : case of Executive Engineer , PSEB and others versus Teja Singh 2000(10) SCC 15, where terms and conditions of service of work charge employees and regular employees are similar to those applicable in the present case, the Supreme Court has held that work charge employee was not entitled to the benefit of pension. The ratio of that case is squarely applicable to the facts of the present case. Impugned judgment dated 19.2.1991 is, therefore, reserved and set aside.” The order passed in the writ petition, thus, was reversed and the same was dismissed. In view of the order passed in the LPA, the present writ petitions are also dismissed. August 19, 2011 ( RANJIT SINGH ) ramesh JUDGE
