CW 5460/08 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JAIPUR BENCH S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.5460/08 Prabhu Dayal Sharma Versus The Chairman, Rajasthan Vidhyut Prasaran Nigam Ltd. & Ors. DATE OF ORDER : 04/07/2008 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY RASTOGI Mr. Girraj Prasad for Mr. D.C. Gupta, for petitioner *** Instant petition has been filed assailing orders dated 16th May, 1974 [Ann.4] & dated 21st September, 1974 [Ann.5] whereby it was alleged by petitioner that those who were junior to him were promoted prior to him in the cadre of UDC. Petitioner himself was promoted on the recommendation of Selection Committee as UDC vide order Ann.3 dated 31st March, 1971. It was alleged by him that those who were junior in the cadre of UDC they have been deemed to be promoted w.e.f. 26th May, 1969 vide order dt.16/7/74. His grievance is that he being senior to them, by giving promotion to his juniors in the cadre of UDC from the date prior to him has caused prejudice to him. The orders which have been challenged in the instant petition were passed way back in 1974 certainly rights have been vested in favour of incumbents who have been promoted in 1974 itself. Their promotions were never assailed at any point of time. 34 yrs. have rolled by now. No satisfactory explanation has come forward in filing instant petition after such an inordinate delay. Consequently, the writ petition stands dismissed. [AJAY RASTOGI], J. FRBOHRA5460CW2008 4-7.doc
