IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.7772 of 2008 Date of Decision: 12.5.2008 Joginder Pal Petitioner Versus State of Haryana and others Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASBIR SINGH HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K.C.PURI Present: Shri Sanjeev Kumar Panwar, Advocate for the petitioner Jasbir Singh, J. (Oral) Vide order dated 23.5.2006 (P/4), the petitioner was promoted as Group Instructor w.e.f. 10.11.2004 i.e. the date when his junior was promoted, however, actual financial benefits were declined to him and it was ordered that his notional pay shall be fixed from the date of his promotion i.e. 10.11.2004. By filing this writ petition, the petitioner has laid challenge to the latter part of the order, as referred to above. It is contention of the petitioner that promotion to the post was wrongly declined to the petitioner and as such, when, now he has been promoted from the retrospective date, actual financial benefits be paid to him. We feel that the argument raised is liable to be rejected. It is apparent from the records that w.e.f. 10.11.2004, the petitioner has not worked against the promotional post till actually he joined as Group Instructor, after passing of the order Annexure P/4. In view of principle of no work no pay, he is not entitled to claim actual financial benefits for the period, in dispute. The view expressed by us, finds support from ratio of judgment of the Civil Writ Petition No.7772 of 2008 Hon’ble Supreme Court in Union of India and another v. Tarsem Lal and others, (2006) 10 Supreme Court Cases 145. No case is made out for interference. Dismissed. (Jasbir Singh) Judge May 12, 2008 (K.C. Puri) gk Judge 2
