CWP No. 8025 of 2010 27.08.2011 Present: Mr. Avneesh Bhardwaj, counsel for the petitioner. Mr. J.S. Guleria, Assistant Advocate General, for respondents No. 1 and 2. Mr. KD. Sood, counsel for respondents No. 3 and 4. No separate reply sought to be filed by respondents No. 1 and 2. Learned Assistant Advocate General submits that he adopts the reply filed by respondents No. 3 and 4. Rejoinder stands already filed. The petitioner who was working as Lecturer in department of English, in Baba Balak Nath College at Chakmoa, owned and managed by respondent No. 3, has filed the present petition for arrears of pay with effect from 1.1.1996 to 18.3.1999. The petitioner has alleged in Para-5 of the petition that he filed representation dated 25.7.2009, Annexure P-2 and representation dated 27.9.2010 Annexure P-3, to respondents No. 3 and 4, for release of the arrears of pay. The arrears of pay pertain to the year 1996 to 1999 and the period of limitation to claim such arrears was three years from the date they become due. No suit was filed by the petitioner within the period of limitation and he approached this Court by filing the present writ petition in the year 2010. The writ petition is hopelessly time barred and as such, cognizance cannot be taken to grant the arrears of pay for the period 1.1.1996 to 18.3.1999 as claimed by the petitioner. There is no merit in the writ petition filed by the petitioner, which is dismissed accordingly. August 27, 2011 ( V.K. Ahuja ), J. (BSS)
