Authority: High Court of Himachal Pradesh, Shimla
Order Date: 07 July 2026
Case Overview
- Petitioner: Lubhaya Ram, former Conductor employed by H.R.T.C. (a corporation).
- Respondents: H.R.T.C. and others.
- Nature of dispute: Petitioner challenged the removal order dated 11‑Nov‑1992 and subsequent actions, seeking a writ of certiorari to quash the treatment of the removal‑to‑reinstatement period as "dies non" and mandamus to release increments, re‑fix pay, and pay arrears with interest.
- Procedural history: Initial removal in 1992; earlier writ petition (CWP No.572 of 1993) dismissed; original application (No.443 of 1995) directed representation; representation rejected on 14‑Jun‑1995; petition CWP(T) No.2658 of 2008 allowed on 04‑Mar‑2009, quashing the 14‑Jun‑1995 order and directing a speaking order after rehearing.
- Petitioner later challenged an order dated 18‑Aug‑2007 concerning another conductor’s reinstatement, alleging no wages were paid for the removal period.
- The petitioner failed to produce the order issued by the corporation after the 04‑Mar‑2009 direction, and no challenge to that order was recorded.
Final Outcome
- The Court found no merit in the present petition due to the absence of the required order on record and dismissed the petition without any order as to costs. Pending applications, if any, are also disposed of.
