IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Date of Decision : 25.11.2010 COCP No.443 of 2009 Narvinder Singh ...Petitioner Versus Dr.B.C.Gupta and another ...Respondents COCP No.444 of 2009 Harpal Singh ...Petitioner Versus Dr. B.C.Gupta and another ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT GUPTA Present : None for the petitioner. Mr. G.S.Cheema, Sr. DAG, Punjab, for the respondents. HEMANT GUPTA, J. (Oral) This order shall dispose of aforesaid two contempt petitions. The present petitions were adjourned sine die to await the decision of SLP (C) No.19713 of 2005 titled ‘State of Punjab Vs. Sewa Singh’. The said SLP has since been decided by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Civil Appeal No.8306 of 2009 titled “Bhakra Beas Management Board and others Vs. Hari Chand” (alongwith other connected Civil Appeals including C.A.No.8308 of 2009) and the matter has been remitted back to this Court for re-determining the question, whether the daily wage service prior to the regularization is to be counted for determining minimum qualifying service. But, the said question does not arise in the present contempt petitions. COCP No.443 of 2009 The present petitions for contempt are in respect of an order passed by the Division Bench of this Court on 06.04.1990 directing the respondents to pass appropriate order on the claim of the petitioners for regularization of the services. The present contempt petitions have been filed on 06.03.2009 i.e. almost after 19 years of the order having been passed. In the meantime, in view of the judgment rendered by Hon’ble Supreme Court in Secretary, State of Karnataka and others Vs. Uma Devi and others (2006) 4 SCC 1, the claim for regularization has been reconsidered and the earlier judgments have been set aside. In view of the above, no further orders are called for in the present contempt petitions. The same are accordingly dismissed. 25.11.2010 (HEMANT GUPTA) Vimal JUDGE 2
