IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P. No. 3229 of 2007 Date of Decision : 02.03.2007 Dharuv Singh ... Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and others. .. Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE J.S. KHEHAR, HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S.D. ANAND. Present : Mr. J.S. Bhatia, Advocate, for the petitioner. J.S. Khehar, J. (Oral) The petitioner resigned from his employment in the year 1973. Now after a passage of more than 33 years, he claims pension. The instant claim being highly belated is liable to be declined for reasons of delay and laches. Learned counsel for the petitioner despite being invited to do so could not invite our attention to any statutory rule or instructions issued by the respondents under which the petitioner can claim pension after having resigned from his employment with the Police Department. In view of the above, we find no merit in this petition. The same is dismissed on merits, as well as, for reasons of delay and laches. Ordered accordingly. ( J.S. Khehar ) Judge March 02, 2007 ( S.D.
