29.5.2009 Present: None for the petitioner. Mrs. Anjula Khajuria, Advocate, for the respondents. CWP(T) No.3069/2008 Initially, the petition was filed before the erstwhile Himachal Pradesh Administrative Tribunal on 8.4.1996 and admitted on 16.4.1996. With the enactment of The Himachal Pradesh Administrative Tribunal (Transfer of decided and pending cases and applications) Act, 2008 (No.14 of 2008), the same stands transferred to this Court. The matter was listed before this Court on 31.12.2008 and 8.1.2009, when a request was made on behalf of the original counsel and the matter was adjourned for 24.4.2009, when none appeared on behalf of the petitioner, hence court notice was issued to him for today. Inspite of pass over, none has caused appearance. The petitioner, in effect, has assailed the orders passed in the year 1984. He is seeking promotion as Chief Head Draftsman with effect from 1983. There is inordinate delay in filing the present petition which has not been explained by the petitioner. Further, the petitioner has not impleaded the person whose promotion has been assailed by him. Thus, the petition is also bad on account of non-joinder of necessary parties. On these grounds alone, the present petition is dismissed. ( Sanjay Karol ), Judge. May 29, 2009 (rana)
