JUSTICE M.M. KUMAR HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GURDEV SINGH Present: Mr. Suvir Sehgal, Addl. A.G., Punjab for the appellants. 1. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? M.M. KUMAR, J. 1. The instant appeal filed under Clause X of the Letters Patent is directed against judgment dated 06.10.2010 rendered by the learned Single Judge holding that once a statement has been made with regard to grant of increment in respect of the petitioner-respondent then nothing would survive. It is appropriate to notice that Shri Brij Lal, Patwari Drainage Department Sub Division Sangrur had stated through learned State counsel before the learned Single Judge that increment for the period during which the writ petitioner-respondent remained out of employment had already been granted. The instant appeal is not competent because it is based on a concession. LPA No. 1507 of 2011 (O&M) -2- 2. Accordingly, the appeal fails and the same is dismissed. 3. As the appeal has been dismissed on merit, we do not wish to pass any order on the application seeking condonation of delay of 271 days in filing of the instant appeal. (M.M. KUMAR) JUDGE (GURDEV SINGH) JUDGE August 25, 2011 Atul
