IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.21132 of 2010 K.C.Gupta Vs. State of Haryana & others Present: Mr.V.B.Aggarwal, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** RANJIT SINGH, J. The petitioner is seeking promotion with effect from 2004. He has already retired in the year 2007. When asked to explain reasons for delayed approach, counsel refers to the fact that he has been making representations and pursuant thereto, a communication dated 26.2.2008 was addressed holding him eligible for promotion w.e.f. 28.12.2004. Still, the petitioner has no explanation to offer for the period from 26.2.2008 till date, except that he had been representing. Let the representation of the petitioner be decided in accordance with law. However, this will not be taken as a justifiable reason to ignore the delay in making the present approach, if ultimately the petitioner has to come to the court. The writ petition is disposed of.
