IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P.No.8591 of 2011 Date of decision : 16.5.2011 SI Subhash Singh alias Subhash Chand ....Petitioner Versus State of Haryana and others ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER .... Present: Mr. Ravi Partap Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. MAHESH GROVER, J. Contends that the punishment of stoppage of increments was inflicted upon the petitioner in the first instance in 2000 when the initial order of dismissal was converted into the stoppage of two increments. This order was upheld in revision also in the year 2004. It is the contention of learned counsel for the petitioner that the punishment should be construed effective from 2000 when it was initially inflicted but the respondents are construing it effective from 2004 and it is coming as an impediment in the way of his promotion and his juniors have been promoted in the year 2008. The affect of the punishment came to the knowledge of the petitioner in 2008 when his juniors were promoted. He has approached this Court in 2011 which is highly belated. Consequently, the writ petition is dismissed on the ground of delay and latches. 16.5.2011 (MAHESH GROVER) dss JUDGE
