Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE PERMOD KOHLI HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE TEJINDER SINGH DHINDSA Present : Mr. Deepak Sharma, Advocate for the appellant. **** Permod Kohli, J.(Oral) CM No.3412-13 of 2011 These are applications for condonation of delay in filing and refiling the appeal. For the reasons mentioned in the applications, delay in filing and refiling the appeal is condoned. CMs stand disposed of. Main appeal This appeal arises out of an order dated 05.04.2010 passed by learned Single Judge dismissing the CWP No.8666 of 2009 filed by the appellant herein challenging his termination. From the perusal of the impugned order, it is evident that the appellant was terminated vide order dated 28.12.1993 and an appeal preferred by him before Deputy Inspector General of Police resulted in dismissal vide order dated 28.04.1994 and further appeal also came to dismissal vide order dated 06.07.1994. He challenged the orders of termination and of appellate authority in the year 2009. No LPA No.1222 of 2011 (O&M) -2- explanation whatsoever has been rendered in the writ petition for such an inordinate delay in filing the writ petition. Learned Single Judge has also noticed that work and conduct of the appellant was unsatisfactory. The dismissal of the appellant was on account of unauthorized absence from duty for a period of 181 days and he was held guilty of charges in the departmental inquiry and was served a show cause notice dated 15.10.1993. Nothing has been brought on record that the inquiry held against the appellant was bad in any manner and there has been violation of principles of natural justice. Both on account of inordinate delay and for want of any valid challenge to the disciplinary proceedings, we concur with the findings recorded by the learned Single Judge. The present appeal stands dismissed. (Permod Kohli) Judge November 01, 2011 (Tejinder Singh Dhindsa) sonia Judge
