CWP No. 1632 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No. 1632 of 2009 Date of Decision: February 02, 2009 Partap Singh Rawat ...... Petitioner Versus State of Haryana and others ...... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ajay Tewari Present: Mr.S.K.Redhu, Advocate for the petitioner. **** 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Ajay Tewari, J. This petition has been preferred against the order dated 10.5.2006 whereby the petitioner was awarded the punishment of withdrawal of four increments without cumulative effect and the order dated 8.8.2006 whereby the said punishment has been reduced to withdrawal of two increments without cumulative effect in appeal on the ground of unauthorised absence. Learned counsel for the petitioner has only argued that the Appellate order has been passed on the ground that he had tampered with the official record. However, from a perusal of order dated 8.8.2006 it is seen that no such factor weighed with the Appellate Authority. Apart from this it has to be noticed that against the order dated 8.8.2006 the petitioner CWP No. 1632 of 2009 2 had filed his memorial on 2.7.2007 which was rejected as far back as 14.9.2007 . Thus, this petition is liable to be dismissed not only on merits but also on the ground of delay and latches. Dismissed. No costs. (AJAY TEWARI) JUDGE February 02, 2009 sunita
