1 D.B.Civil Special Appeal(Writ) No.1339/2008 Ram Singh V/s State of Raj. & ors. 11.8.2008 Hon'ble the Chief Justice Mr.Narayan Roy Hon'ble Mr.Justice Mohammad Rafiq Dr.G.P.Sharma for the appellant. This appeal is directed against the judgment of the learned Single Judge of this Court dated 17th August, 2007 whereby the writ application of the appellant was dismissed. The writ petition was filed by the appellant with the prayers that the respondents be directed to reinstate him in service, regularize his services and pay him regular pay-scale of the post of Workman/Beldar. According to the appellant, he was engaged as Beldar in 1982 and thereafter, in 1988, his services and services of several other workmen were terminated. The Union of the workmen contested the matter by filing writ petition before this Court and in the list of members of the Union appended to the writ petition, his name was mentioned at serial no.49. When the writ petition was dismissed, the Union filed Special Leave Petition before the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court by order dated 17.11.1989 directed the respondents to reinstate all 57 workmen, who were earlier employed. Thereafter, when the petitioner-appellant was not reinstated, he filed writ petition before this Court, which has been rejected by the impugned judgment. The learned Single Judge of this Court, considering the stand taken by the respondents in their reply, dismissed the writ application observing 2 that the matter involved disputed questions of law and facts. These observations were made in view of the stand pointedly taken by the respondents that there were in-fact three persons by name of Ram Singh in the list of 57 members of the Union produced before the Supreme Court. While the appellant claimed himself to be at serial no.49 in the said list, the President of Union identified those three persons with same name of Ram Singh. Those persons were Ram Singh S/o Shri Prabhu ,Singh, Ram Singh S/o Shri Devi Singh and Ram Singh S/o Shri Munni Lal. It was Ram Singh S/o Shri Munni Lal, who was identified at serial no.49 of the said list appended to the Special Leave Petition. The respondents contended that they have gone by the identification made by the President of the Union and in fact the appellant never worked with them. All this exercise was undertaken in the year 1999 and the things have settled thereafter. There is no reason for this court not to accept the stand taken by the respondents that there were three persons by the name of Ram Singh as stated above, identified by the President of the Union, who contested the matter on behalf of the workmen before the Supreme Court and in these three names, the name of appellant-petitioner did not find place. We do not therefore find any error, illegality or infirmity in the impugned order passed by the learned Single Judge. This appeal is therefore, dismissed. (Mohammad Rafiq)J. (Narayan Roy)C.J. Parmar
