IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.15285 of 2010 Harpreet Inderjit Singh Vs. The Director, Rural Development & Panchayats, Punjab & others Present: Mr.A.K.Walia,Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** RANJIT SINGH, J. The finding by the Labour Court is that Panchayat Samiti was not competent at all to appoint the workman as Clerk. In fact, the Panchayat Samiti had written to Director Rural Development and Panchayat Department for getting approval to regularise the services of the workman, but the competent authority did not grant the necessary approval either for appointment or for regularisation of the appointment so made. Otherwise also, the petitioner was appointed in violation of all the rules without issuing any advertisement or getting the names from the Employment Exchange. Accordingly, the claim of the petitioner has been declined by the Labour Court. I see no reason to interfere in the award passed by the Labour Court. Dismissed.
