IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.23844 of 2011 DATE OF DECISION: December 21, 2011 Swinder Kaur and others …..Petitioners versus The Principal Secretary to Govt. of Punjab, Depaprtment of School Education and another .....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr.G.S. Bal, Advocate for the petitioner s .. RAJAN GUPTA, J.: (Oral) The petitioners have filed this petition seeking a direction from this court to count services rendered by them on unaided posts for the purpose of pensionary benefits. Mr.Bal, learned counsel for the petitioners contends that petitioners are entitled to pensionary benefits after taking into account entire service rendered by them including that against unaided posts. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioners. Admittedly, petitioners have worked for various periods on unaided posts. No rule has been referred to which may entitle them for counting said period for the purpose of grant of pension. This apart, the petition suffers from serious delay and laches as petitioners retired between the years 1986 to 1991. The petition is without any merit and is hereby dismissed.
