IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P. No. 21802 of 2008. Date of Decision : January 21, 2009. Bachha Singh. ...... Petitioner. Versus. The State of Haryana and others. ...... Respondents. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH. Present: Mr. Deepak Sonak, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. D.S. Nalwa, Additional Advocate General, Haryana, for the respondents No. 1 and 2. -.- AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH, J. (ORAL). It is the contention of counsel for the petitioner that vide impugned order dated 07.08.2008 (Annexure-P-2), the State of Haryana has declined the reference to the Labour Court on the ground that the workman was not working with respondent No. 4 and was actually working with respondent No. 3. When the State itself is admitting that he as a matter of fact is working with one of the respondents, the question, therefore, needs adjudication. He further submits that the stand of respondent No. 1 is that the workman is not his employee but is an employee of respondent No. 2. That being the position, the matter needs adjudication by the competent court. The order dated 07.08.2008 (Annexure-P-2), passed by the respondents, is hereby quashed. A direction is issued to the State of Haryana to re-consider the matter and pass an appropriate order within one month from the date of receipt of copy of this order. This writ petition stands disposed of accordingly. (AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH) JUDGE January 21, 2009. sjks.
