IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CASE NO.: CWP No.14657 of 2006 DATE OF DECISION: May 27, 2008 TRIBHAWAN KUMAR ...PETITIONER VERSUS STATE OF PUNJAB & OTHERS ...RESPONDENTS CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA. HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA. PRESENT: MR. A.S. KHAIRA, ADVOCATE FOR THE PETITIONER. MR. YATINDER SHARMA, DAG, PUNJAB. MR. ASHWANI PRASHAR, ADVOCATE FOR RESPONDENT NO.3. ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J.(ORAL) The petitioner has prayed for quashing the order (Annexure P-18) vide which the claim of the petitioner with regard to grant of additional increment has been rejected. The petitioner has claimed that he is entitled to be given one additional increment w.e.f. 1.2.1988. Counsel appearing for respondent No.3 states that the relief claimed by the petitioner is highly belated as the writ petition has been filed after more than 18 years of passing of the order. It has further been contended that no writ is maintainable against the Punjab State Co-operative Bank. After going through the averments made in the writ petition and the contentions raised by counsel for the petitioner, we find that the claim made by the petitioner is highly belated. In view of the above, the writ petition is dismissed. (ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA) JUDGE May 27, 2008 (KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA) Gulati JUDGE
