"The petitioner was appointed as Sanitary Inspector, Municipal Committee, Ludhiana and he earned promotions from time to time. In the year 1994, he was promoted as Superintendent Vaccination. Thereafter, in the year 1997, he was given promotion to the post of Registrar (Births & Deaths), MOHIT 2025.07.11 17:52 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document

CWP-5080-2014 (O&M) CWP-1474-2012 (O&M) CWP-6115-2013 (O&M) 2




















































Municipal Corporation, Ludhiana vide orders dated 28.5.1997. Subsequently, show cause notice dated 16.1.2003 was issued to him which culminated in his reversion from the post of Registrar (Births & Deaths). Challenging these orders, the petitioner filed the instant writ petition. The petitioner also prayed for interim stay of operation of the reversion orders. Interim orders were passed in his favour by this Court. Under the umbrella of the said stay orders, the petitioner continued to work as Registrar (Births & Deaths) and has since retired as well from that post on 31.12.2009. As the petitioner, on account of stay order, continued to work as Registrar (Births & Deaths) and has even retired from that post, it is not necessary to go into the validity of the orders impugned in this petition. Retiral benefits, if not paid, shall be released to the petitioner as if the petitioner had retired as Registrar (Births & Deaths).

The writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of." 6.

Learned State counsel, despite best efforts, has not been able to controvert as regards the factual position and draw out any distinctive aspects in the aforementioned judgment or cite any contrary law. 7.

These petitions are disposed of in terms of Sudarshan Kumar Sharma(supra).
