IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.12598 of 2010 Date of Decision : July 20, 2010. Lakhwinder Singh and others .....Petitioners versus Markfed through its Managing Director .....Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Rahul Chhatwal, Advocate, for the petitioners. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers 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? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioners seek quashing of the order dated 10.5.2010 (Annexure P-7) passed by the Managing Director of the Markfed, whereby the claim for regularization of their services has been turned down. Vide the impugned order dated 10.5.2010 (Annexure P-7), the respondent-management has disputed the relationship of employer and employees between the parties on the ground that the petitioners were never employed by the Markfed. It is further explained that the Markfed had engaged Contractors who in turn employed the petitioners as Cane Surveyors. C.W.P.No .12598 of 2010 2 On the other hand, the petitioners claim themselves to be under the direct employment of the Markfed. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners and considering the involvement of seriously disputed question of facts which cannot be adjudicated upon in exercise of the writ jurisdiction, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with liberty to the petitioners to raise an industrial dispute under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 and/or have recourse before any other appropriate Forum, if so advised. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. July 20, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
