CWP NO. 2115 of 2007 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP NO. 2115 of 2007 DATE OF DECISION: 9.2.2007 Bhupinder 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. T.P. Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. J.S. Khehar, J. (oral) A departmental enquiry was conducted against the petitioner, consequent upon which, by an order dated 29.5.2002, the petitioner was dismissed from service by the Senior Superintendent of Police, Fatehgarh Sahib. Dissatisfied with the aforesaid order, the petitioner preferred an appeal. The aforesaid appeal was dismissed on 15.7.2002, whereupon the petitioner filed a revision petition. The Director General of Police dismissed the aforesaid revision petition on 3.6.2003. With the dismissal of the revision petition, the statutory remedies available to the petitioner, on the administrative side, stood exhausted. Through the instant writ petition, the petitioner has assailed the orders dated 29.5.2002, 15.7.2002 and 3.6.2003. Since the last of the aforesaid orders was passed on 3.6.2003 and since more than three years have elapsed since then, we are of the view, that it is now not open to the CWP NO. 2115 of 2007 2 petitioner to challenge any of the orders, under reference, even by filing a civil suit in view of the law of limitation. For the same reason, we are of the view, that the instant writ petition deserves to be dismissed for reasons of delay and laches. Ordered accordingly. ( J.S. Khehar ) Judge ( S.D. Anand ) February 09, 2007. Judge vig
