IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.22988 of 2011 DATE OF DECISION: December 12, 2011 Sub Inspector Om Parkash Puri …..Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr.H.K. Brinda, Advocate for the petitioner .. RAJAN GUPTA, J.: (Oral) Petitioner has challenged the promotion of one Mohinder Singh as Sub-Inspector. Learned counsel submits that Mohinder Singh was junior to petitioner and was promoted as Sub-Inspector on 12.3.1999 whereas petitioner got his promotion in the year 2005. According to him, the promotion of Mohinder Singh is unsustainable and deserves to be quashed. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner. Admittedly, claim of the petitioner relates to the year 1999 when a person stated to be junior to him was promoted. There is nothing on record to show that petitioner agitated against the said order. Admittedly, both petitioner and Mohinder Singh have retired by now. I am of the considered view that claim of the petitioner is not only belated but stale. Mohinder Singh is not even a respondent in the instant writ petition. Civil Writ Petition No.22988 of 2011 - 2 - The petition appears to be totally frivolous and is hereby dismissed.
