C.W.P No. 14116 of 2005 ::1:: IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P No. 14116 of 2005 Date of decision : February 05, 2009 Gurmit Kaur, ...... Petitioner (s) v. Haryana Power Generation Corporation Ltd and others, ...... Respondent(s) *** CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI *** Present : Mr. L.S.Sandhu, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Narinder Hooda, Advocate for the respondents. *** 1. Whether Reporters of Local Newspapers 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 ? *** AJAY TEWARI, J (Oral) This petition has been filed seeking retiral benefits of the petitioner's husband. The admitted facts are that the husband of the petitioner worked for about three years as work charge employee and for about 5 years 8 months and 5 days as regular employee after which he abandoned his job. Thereafter, neither the husband of the petitioner went back nor was any order passed terminating his services. As regards the claim for counting work charge service towards pension, counsel for the respondents states that C.W.P No. 14116 of 2005 ::2:: in the year 1967, there was no pension scheme at all and, therefore, even the subsequent judgments which mandated counting of work charge service towards pensionary benefits could not relate back to a time when there was no provision for paying pension at all to any employee. However, as regards the GPF/EPF of the petitioner's husband, the same is the property of the petitioner. In the circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to pay to the petitioner the amounts which remained due on account of EPF/GPF within three months from the receipt of a certified copy of this order along with upto date interest.
