1 S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.3745/2007 Santosh Singh vs UOI & Ors. DATE OF ORDER : - 26.7.2007 HON'BLE MR.PRAKASH TATIA,J. Mr.PS Bhati, for the petitioner. <><><> Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. The petitioner's pension case was rejected by the respondents by order dated 13th July, 1979. The appeal was disallowed by the Government vide order dated 7.1.1980. The petitioner has filed this writ petition for getting the relief,which was rejected in the year 1979 – 80. The petitioner's contention that he got the copy of the above order too late deserves to be rejected because of the simple reason that the order of denial of pension dated 13th July, 1979 was challenged by the petitioner by preferring appeal. Even assuming for the sake of argument that petitioner did not get the knowledge of disposal of the appeal then that was communicated in response to his letter by the respondents in the month of April, 1991, yet the petitioner has filed this writ petition in the year 2007 after delay of about 16 years from the even last communication and with the delay of 27 years from the rejection of the appeal. 2 The writ petition of the petitioner is dismissed on the ground of inordinate delay.
