DEV RAJ Vs. PUNJAB STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS is plaintiff's regular second appeal against the judgment and decree of the Additional District Judge dated 9. 11. 1987 whereby the judgment and decree of the trial court has been reversed thus dismissing the suit filed by him.

(2.) PLAINTIFF filed a suit for declaration to the effect that the order dated 3. 8. 1982 passed by the defendant terminating his services has illegal and void. As per narration in the plaint, it was stated that the plaintiff joined as a work-charged at Sub Office, Daroli Kalan, and was permanent w. e. f. 4. 7. 1972 against the post of Assistant Lineman. While he was posted at Alawalpur, he proceeded on leave on account of sickness of his wife. Since neither Sub Divisional Officer nor Line Superintendent was present at that time on that day, he proceeded on leave by filing application for 8 days casual leave from 21. 12. 1981 to 31. 12. 1981. Thereafter he was not allowed to job duty, hence the present suit.
