IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. LPA No. 1144 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision: September 13, 2010 The General Manager, Haryana Roadways, Bhiwani …Appellant Versus Dharampal and another …Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M. KUMAR HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE GURDEV SINGH Present: Mr. Rameshwar Malik, Addl. AG, Haryana, for the appellant. 1. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? M.M. KUMAR, J. The instant appeal filed under Clause X of the Letters Patent is directed against the judgment dated 8.12.2009, passed by the learned Single Judge in CWP No. 9680 of 2009, upholding the award of the Labour Court, which has granted the workman-respondent No. 1 reinstatement as well as 50% back wages. Both the Courts have recorded categorical finding that the inference of embezzlement could not have been derived in the absence of tangible evidence against the workman-respondent No. 1. This is pure finding of fact and no question of law warranting admission of the appeal is raised. There is, thus, no merit in the appeal. Accordingly, the same is dismissed. In view of the fact that the appeal has been dismissed on merit, we are not inclined to pass any order on the application seeking condonation of delay of 245 days in filing the appeal. (M.M. KUMAR) JUDGE (GURDEV SINGH) September 13, 2010 JUDGE LPA No. 1144 of 2010 Pkapoor 2
