LPA No.1544 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. LPA No. 1544 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision 26.8.2011 Sukhwant Singh and others . Appellants Versus Bhakra Beas Management Board and Ors. .. Respondents. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M. KUMAR HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GURDEV SINGH Present: Mr.Ranjit Sharma, Advocate for the appellants 1. To be referred to the Reporter or not ? 2. Whether the judgement should be reported in the Digest ? M.M.KUMAR, J. 1. The appellants are aggrieved against judgement dated 22.2.2011 rendered by the learned Single Judge holding that hardship allowance has already been granted to the appellants from 1989 onwards after their services were regualrised and their claim for grant of the same from 1981 when they were working as work charged employees has been rejected. Apart from the delay, the learned Single Judge has taken the view that if similar situated persons have been granted the 'hardship allowance' it was based on the award passed by the Labour Court and the learned Single Judge has refused to exercise writ jurisdiction. However, they have been given liberty to approach the Labour Court by seeking a reference. 2. Having heard the learned counsel we are of the considered view that the opinion expressed by the learned Single Judge does not suffer from any legal infirmity warranting admission of the appeal. The appeal is wholly without merit. Dismissed. (M.M.Kumar) Judge (Gurdev Singh) 26.8.2011 Judge okg LPA No.1544 of 2011 2
