JASWANT SINGH, J. (ORAL)
It is averred that the petitioner (Jagjeet Singh) was appointed/engaged on daily wage basis as Sewadar on 23.05.2005 (Annexure P-1) by Shiromani Gurudwara Parbandhak Committee, Sri Amritsar (respondent No. 1), and while posted at Gurudwara Sri Dukh Niwaran Sahib, Patiala (respondent No. 2), he was suspended on 14.11.2016 on account of a complaint made by one lady-Lakhwinder Kaur. Thereafter vide order dated 10.12.2016 (Annexure P-3), the petitioner was ordered to join the service at Head Quarter with Gurudwara Sri Guru Teg Bahadar Sahib, Jind (respondent No. 3). It is further averred that the services of the petitioner have been terminated vide order dated 23.05.2017, while communicating orally to the petitioner. The copy of termination order has not been supplied to the petitioner.

Since the aforesaid termination order dated 23.05.2017 was passed without affording opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, therefore, by filing the present petition, he seeks Mandamus directing the respondents to reinstate him on his last post.

1 of 2 In this case, notice is yet to be issued.

It is noticed that since 19.02.2018, counsel for the petitioner has only once appeared and abstained from hearing on six (06) occasions, and also, the position is same today.

In view of above, this Court finds that counsel for the petitioner is not willing to pursue the present petition, and, therefore, the same is liable to be dismissed for non-prosecution.

“Dismissed for non-prosecution”.
