ARAVINDKUMAR BABU THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 08/07/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J ------------------- W.P.(C).21163/2010 -------------------- Dated this the 8th day of July, 2010 JUDGMENT Petitioner commenced service as a Peon in the Homeopathy Department with effect from 14.1.1976. On attaining the age of superannuation, while working as Pharmacist (Homeo), he retired from service in February, 2002. In this writ petition what he claims is that on completion of three years from 14.1.1976, he ought to have been promoted as Attender and thereafter as Pharmacist. In my view, this claim raised at this distance of time is highly belated and therefore, the same cannot be entertained. Writ petition fails and it is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, Judge mrcs
