IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No.16367/2010 Date of decision: 19.04.2011. Inder Mohan Grover ....................Petitioner v. State of Punjab and others .....................Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr.Justice Jaswant Singh Present: Mr.Baldev Singh Sidhu,Advocate for the petitioner. Jaswant Singh.J.(Oral) The services of the petitioner- Inder Mohan Grover were regularised as Pharmacist vide letter dated 21.10.1977(P2). He submitted his resignation due to his family circumstances and the same was accepted vide order dated 29.5.1978(P5). The instant petition has been filed after a delay of 32 years seeking grant of retiral benefits. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner, I find that the petition is wholly devoid of merits. Besides un-explained and fatal delay, it cannot be disputed that with the acceptance of resignation of the petitioner, his miniscule period of service stood forfeited. Dismissed. 19.04.2011 (Jaswant Singh) joshi Judge
