CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: - Mr. R.S. Chauhan, Advocate, for the petitioner. . . . AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) The petitioner was prematurely retired. Learned counsel contends that equity demands that statutory appeal of the petitioner be considered on merits. The same however has been dismissed vide Order Annexure P-3. I have considered the contention of learned counsel. Statutory appeal of the petitioner has been dismissed on the ground of appeal having been filed after the period of limitation, viz. 45 days. The impugned order was passed on 23.9.2005. The appeal however was filed on CWP No.18415 of 2009 [2] 4.9.2008 i.e. after nearly three years of passing of the order sought to be challenged. There has to be finality to all proceedings. No ground for interference is made out in equity, or in law, in extraordinary writ jurisdiction. The petition is dismissed. (AJAI LAMBA) December 02, 2009 JUDGE avin 1. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest?
