HC slaps costs on PU
Chandigarh, November 29 The Bench asserted, “We express our unhappiness over the decision of the university in filing this appeal and wasting the time of the court twice over on frivolous grounds. We direct that the respondent workman be reinstated forthwith. The appeal stands dismissed, with costs quantified at Rs 10,000, to be deposited with the State Legal Services Authority.” The directions by the Bench of Justice MM Kumar and Justice Rajiv Narain Raina came on an appeal filed by PU against Parveen Bala and another respondent. Speaking for the Bench, Justice Raina asserted, “After disengaging services of the respondent, the university issued an advertisement for recruitment of clerks. She qualified the written test. However, she was neither re-engaged, nor her service regularised on passing of such test. “The labour court found that in the interregnum, the university made a large number of appointments of nepotism through the back door, largely at the instance of Sodhi Ram, the then Controller of Examinations. The university is the appellant before us unabashedly. “The respondent was engaged to serve again from April 20, 1997, to September 30, 1997, for pressing seasonal work. In 1999, she passed a written test, but could not clear the type test. She continued thus, till she was again disengaged on November 30, 2002, on the plea of non-passing of the type test. “The last disengagement led to the reference. The labour court ordered reinstatement, with 40 per cent back wages, with effect from October 1, 2002, till the date of the award, which would carry 9 per cent interest. “The single Judge has upheld the award and endorsed the discretion exercised by the labour court in awarding 40 per cent back wages. We wholeheartedly put our stamp of approval on the judgment impugned.”
