CWP NO. 14452 OF 2006 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP NO. 14452 OF 2006 DATE OF DECISION: 12.09.2006. Gurdev Singh ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab others ....Respondents. CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE J.S. KHEHAR HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S.D. ANAND PRESENT: Mr. P.S. Goraya, Advocate for the petitioner. J.S. Khehar, J. (oral) The petitioner was appointed as a Jail Warder by the respondents in the year 1985. Through the instant writ petition, it appears that his services were dispensed with without justification. It is this action of the respondents, in dispensing with the services of the petitioner, that is subject matter of challenge at the hands of the petitioner. Although the pleadings in the instant writ petition do not disclose the particulars in respect of the date when the services of the petitioner were dispensed with, we have been informed by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner discharged his duties for an approximate period of two years. It is, therefore, apparent that the services of the petitioner were dispensed with sometime in the year 1987. The petitioner has approached this Court approximately two decades after his services were dispensed with. We find no justification in interfering with the action of the respondents at this CWP NO. 14452 OF 2006 2 belated stage. Dismissed for delay and laches. ( J.S. Khehar ) Judge ( S.D. Anand ) September 12, 2006. Judge vig
