Instant petition under Art. 226 of Constitution of India lays challenge to award dated 20.7.2012 passed by learned Industrial Tribunal-cum-Labour Court Dharamshala camp at Mandi in Ref. No 209 of 2010 titled Bal Krishan and others v. Superintending Engineer, (Power Wing) HPSEB, whereby learned Tribunal below held petitioners entitled to work charge status with effect from 1.1.1994 alongwith all consequential benefits arising after 1.1.1994.

2. Having carefully perused main ground raised by the petitioner-Board in the petition at hand, this court finds that impugned Award has been laid challenge on the ground that there was no work charge establishment in the Himachal Pradesh State Electricity Board Limited as such, there was no occasion for learned Tribunal below to grant work charge status after completion of ten years. Since the respondents were engaged in the years 1985, 1984 and 1986 and they all had completed 240 days in each calendar year, they were entitled to be granted work charge status in terms of policy of regularization framed by the Government of Himachal Pradesh.
