( 1 ) THE Chief Conservator of Forests, U. P. and others are appellants before us. The respondent, Rahmat Ullah was engaged as mail with effect from 15-11-1987. He was appointed on daily wages and it is alleged that his services were terminated w. e. f. 1-3-1990. The matter came before the industrial Tribunal by a reference and the appellants herein contended that the respondent was appointed on daily wages under a scheme of the Social forestry Department and the target under the scheme having been achieved his services were terminated. The Tribunal held that the contention raised by the Department was not correct and the allegation of the respondent that one shri Zafuddin Ansari was appointed in the vacancy arisen on the removal of the respondent and this averment raised by the respondent was not challenged in the counter filed by the appellant and in that view of the matter, the tribunal held that the termination was illegal and the respondent herein was liable to be reinstated with full back wages. That order was challenged before the High Court and the High Court upheld it.
