Regular Second Appeal No. 3690 of 2008 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Regular Second Appeal No. 3690 of 2008 Date of Decision: 31.3.2009 *** Ishwar Singh Dahiya .. Appellant VS. State of Haryana & Anr. .. Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ARVIND KUMAR, Present:- Mr.S.S. Dinarpur, Advocate for the appellant. *** ARVIND KUMAR, J. This is plaintiff's appeal filed under Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure challenging the concurrent findings recorded by the Courts below to the effect that he is not entitled to the service benefit rendered during emergency. Having heard the learned counsel, I am of the considered view that no question of law warranting admission of appeal would arise. There is no dispute to the fact that the appellant-plaintiff served the Indian Army from 15.1.1966 to 27.3.1973 and the National emergencies were in operation for the first time from 15.1.1966 to 10.1.1968 and secondly w.e.f. 3.12.1971 to 3.7.1977. Admittedly, the plaintiff was extended the benefit of military services during the period of first emergency. His claim for grant of benefit of services rendered during the second emergency has been declined to him considering the fact that he had not served the Military till the second emergency ceases to operate on 3.7.1977 and left the job in the midst on 27.3.1973. These facts rightly led the Courts below to hold him not entitled to get the benefit thereof, which he claimed as per instructions Ex.P13. The findings are based on cogent evidence, oral as well as documentary, and it cannot be concluded that the findings are laconic or Regular Second Appeal No. 3690 of 2008 2 they lack the support of evidence. Therefore, the appeal does not deserve to be admitted being devoid of merit. Accordingly, the same is dismissed in limine. (ARVIND KUMAR) JUDGE March 31,2009 Jiten
