‘No Work No Pay’ Not Applicable in Wrongful Promotion Denial: Punjab & Haryana HC
The Punjab and Haryana High Court has ruled that an employee who was wrongly denied promotion earlier cannot be deprived of salary arrears after being granted retrospective promotion. The court held that the principle of “no work no pay” cannot be applied when the delay in promotion occurred due to administrative lapse and not the fault of the employee.
The petitioner, Chander Bhan, initially joined the department as a daily wage P.R. Chowkidar in April 1987 in Narwana, District Jind. His services were later regularised in April 1993. Over time, he was promoted to the post of Clerk in April 2011 and later as Sub-Inspector in June 2014.

According to the petitioner, the conflict began after he had an argument with the gym staff over wearing gym shoes outside the entrance area.

J&K High Court upholds flood compensation for Srinagar family, dismisses insurer’s appeal over undisclosed exclusion clause in house damage claim
At the Srinagar wing of the Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh High Court, a bench comprising Justice Sanjeev Kumar and Justice Sanjay Parihar on Thursday dismissed an appeal filed by National Insurance Company Limited. The insurer was seeking to overturn a compensation award granted to a family whose home was damaged during the devastating 2014 floods.
The case originates from a policy taken by late Shad Mohd Bashir, whose residential house at Sarai Payeen, Amira Kadal, Srinagar, had been insured since 2009. Though the policy was renewed annually, the company later claimed that it excluded flood and similar storm-related risks - referred to in technical jargon as “STFI” (Storm, Tempest, Flood, Inundation).
