CWP(T) No. 6701 of 2008 11.08.2010 Present: Mr. B. M. Chauhan, Advocate, for the petitioner. Ms. Anjula Khajuria, Advocate, for the respondents. Petitioner was engaged as a Beldar on daily wages in the year 1977. With effect from 5.7.1978 he was engaged as a T-mate on work charged basis. It was his grievance that by ignoring his seniority persons junior to him were regularised as T-mate on 26.4.1980. Petitioner made a representation for relaxing the condition of age for regularisation. His representation found favour with the respondent/Board and the condition was relaxed. But however petitioner was not regularised w.e.f. 26.4.1980 for the reason that his performance was poor. The D.P.C. convened did not find him fit for regularisation. Later on in the year 1981 a fresh D.P.C. was convened and petitioner was regularised w.e.f. 30.7.1982. 2. It is this action of the respondents which has been assailed by the petitioner in the present petition filed in the year 2000. 3. There has been inordinate and unexplainable delay in filing the petition. After the petitioner’s regularisation in the year 1982, he was promoted as Assistant Lineman in the year 1993. This was also accepted by him without any demure or protest. Even at that time he did not approach the Court for vindication of his rights. On merits he was found not fit to be regularised. -2- 4. Thus from the record it could not be shown as to how any legally enforceable right of the petitioner stood violated. The present petition without any merit is dismissed. (Sanjay Karol), Judge.
