Shekhar, Advocate For the Respondent(s) : Mr. Anoop Kumar Mehta, Advocate Mr. Shubham M. Advocate Mr. Manish Kumar, Advocate Mr. Prashant Kr. Singh, Advocate Mr. Karbir, Advocate ------ 02/ 09th December, 2025 1. Heard the parties. 2. Since the dispute is in relation to the fact that whether the petitioner is an imposter or not and whether he has entered in service by impersonating, is pending to be decided before the CGIT-cum-Labour Court, Dhanbad in ID case No.3/2017, no order can be passed in this writ petition at this stage. Unless a clear decision on facts is arrived at as to whether the petitioner was an imposter or not, in my opinion, he is not entitled for any benefits. 3. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Western Coal Fields Ltd. v. Manohar Govinda Fulzele, reported in 2025 SCC OnLine SC 345 at para 15 has held as follows: “15. The appointment itself being illegal, there is no question of the terminated employee seeking fruits of his employment by way of gratuity. We uphold the decision of the PSU forfeiting his entire gratuity....” 2025:JHHC:36858 2 4. Thus, this writ petition stands disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to approach this Court, if necessary, once a decision is taken by the CGIT-cum-Labour Court, Dhanbad. 5. It is expected that the CGIT-cum-Labour Court, Dhanbad, will expedite and try to dispose of the dispute preferably within a period of 09 months from the date of receipt of copy of this order.
