Abandonment is an intention of the workmen to leave the services
In Harjit Singh v. Presiding Officer, Industrial Tribunal, Patiala 2017 LLR (SN) 1007 and 2017 III LLJ 148 (P&H HC),

The Court held:
“Abandonment is an intention to leave service and waive rights spelled over a long period of time establishing by inference disinterest in work.”
Key principles from the judgment:
• Mere absence from duty does not automatically amount to abandonment.
• The employer must prove a clear intention of the workman to permanently leave employment.
• In this case, the Court found that the transfer orders were a sham device to terminate workers.
• Since the workers actually attempted to join duty at the transferred place, there was no intention to abandon service.
• The Court treated the action as retrenchment/termination rather than abandonment.
The Court also observed:
“The sequence of facts from the transfer order to the correspondence … will not make out a case of abandonment when the destination of the transfer order is not a running office.”

Bench: Justice Rajiv Narain Raina
Decision Date: 07 February 2017.
