IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P.No.3598 of 2011 Date of decision : 28.2.2011 Ajmer Singh ....Petitioner Versus State of Haryana and others ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER .... Present: Mr.Tara Chand Dhanwal, Advocate for the petitioner. ..... MAHESH GROVER, J. The petitioner makes a grievance of the fact that his juniors have been promoted prior to him and thus he should also be granted promotion with all consequential benefits of salary and pension along with interest @ 9% per annum. Upon perusal of the matter, it transpires that the promotion in question of the junior of the petitioner, namely Iqbal Singh was made in 2001 while the petitioner was promoted in the year 2005. The petitioner is making a grievance of this in the year 2011. The claim is considerably belated and does not warrant any interference in writ jurisdiction at this stage as the petition is clearly hit by delay and laches. Dismissed. 28.2.2011 (MAHESH GROVER) JUDGE dss
