CWP (T) No.4635 of 2008 05.6.2009 Present: Mr. Anuj Nag, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. R.K. Sharma, Senior Additional Advocate General with Mr. Rajinder Dogra, Additional Advocate General for the respondents. The petitioner is seeking benefit towards ad hoc service he has rendered w.e.f. 1968 to 1973 for the purpose of seniority. He has superannuated in the year 2000. It can safely be presumed that tentative and final seniority lists have been issued after 1973. He was required to assail the same within a reasonable period. He has also not added the parties who were likely to be affected in the eventuality of the petition being allowed. Accordingly, the petition is dismissed on the ground of delay and laches and non-joinder of necessary parties. No costs. (Rajiv Sharma), J. June 05, 2009. (rkv)
