1 S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 2149/2008. (KRISHAN CHAND SHARMA VS. STATE & ORS.) DATE OF ORDER : 09.07.2008. HON'BLE MR. GOVIND MATHUR, J. Mr. D.C. Sharma for the petitioner. By this petition for writ, a challenge is given to the communication dated 21.12.2004, whereby the Technical Assistant to the Registrar, Co-operative Societies, Rajasthan, Jaipur informed to the petitioner that the review petition preferred by him before His Excellency the Governor of Rajasthan was not entertained being barred by limitation. In brief, facts of the case are that the proceedings under Rule 17 of the Rajasthan Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1958 were initiated against the petitioner and those culminated into an order of penalty i.e. of stoppage of two annual grade increments without cumulative effect under an order dated 18.04.1992. An appeal was filed by the petitioner after a lapse of 11 years to assail validity of the order dated 18.04.1992 and that came to be rejected being barred by limitation by the order dated 31.10.2003. A review petition thereafter was preferred. 2 The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the review petition was filed within the limitation prescribed. I have examined the order impugned and also the order passed by the disciplinary authority and appellate authority. It is not in dispute that the appeal giving challenge to the order passed by the disciplinary authority was preferred after a lapse of 11 years. No just reason is available for causing such inordinate delay, thus, the appellate authority rightly rejected the appeal. The petitioner for writ, therefore, is having no merit, same is dismissed.
