LPA No. 1770 of 2011 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH LPA No. 1770 of 2011 (O & M) Date of decision:-21.09.2011 Lala Ram and others ...Appellants Versus State of Haryana and others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE PERMOD KOHLI HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE RITU BAHRI Present:- Mr. Rajbir Sehrawat, Advocate for the appellants. PERMOD KOHLI J.(Oral) This letters patent appeal is directed against the judgment dated 09.11.2009 passed in Civil Writ Petition No.16648 of 2009 filed by the appellants seeking the absorption/continuance against the regular vacant post of Sawasthya Sahayak/Sanitary Supervisors under the State Government policy has been dismissed. This appeal has been preferred after inordinate delay of 668 days. We are not convinced with the grounds mentioned in the appeal, the same being vague. Apart from the delay, we have also perused the impugned judgment. It is admitted position that the appellants were engaged as seasonal workers where they were required to perform the duties for 2-3 months in a year. Some of the similarly situated persons filed some writ petitions before this Court. Those, writ petitions were allowed upholding the absorption orders. It is contended that the LPA No. 1770 of 2011 -2- appellants being similarly situated and on the basis of their seniority, are entitled to similar benefits. The appellants earlier filed a Civil Writ Petition No.12088 of 1992 seeking similar relief. That writ petition was dismissed on 11.1.1993. Learned Single Judge taking into consideration holistic view of these facts, dismissed the writ petition. We are not in disagreement with the judgment impugned. This appeal, thus, fails on both counts i.e. limitation and merits, dismissed. ( PERMOD KOHLI ) JUDGE September 21, 2011 ( RITU BAHRI ) Vijay Asija JUDGE
