IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P.No.5054 of 2011 Date of decision : 21.3.2011 Om Parkash ....Petitioner Versus State of Haryana and others ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER .... Present : Mr.S.R.Hooda, Advocate for the petitioner. ..... MAHESH GROVER, J. This writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India has been filed by the petitioner praying for appropriate direction to the respondents to grant him pecuniary benefits on account of the services which he rendered with the respondents. He contends that he was working with the respondents since 17.3.1978 and his services were terminated on 30.11.2006 and even if he remained absent then also on having spent more than 30 years of service he was entitled to the pension etc. On due consideration of the matter, I am of the opinion that the petition is misconceived. There is no material on the record to show as to what was the nature of his appointment and services rendered by the petitioner with the respondent. The petition is C.W.P.No.5054 of 2011 -2- therefore lacking in material particulars. Besides, the jurisdiction of this court has been invoked after an inordinate delay of five years without there being any cogent explanation. The petition, is therefore, held to be without any merit and also being hit by delay and laches. Consequently the same is dismissed. 21.3.2011 (MAHESH GROVER) JUDGE dss
