S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 2666/2009 EX - ASI Shankar Lal Vs. State of Raj. & Ors. Date of Order :: 13.04.2009 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GOVIND MATHUR Mr Kuldeep Mathur, for the petitioner/s. ... To challenge the order dated 27.8.1996 passed by the disciplinary authority dismissing the petitioner from service this petition for writ is preferred. The petitioner was subjected to a disciplinary action as per the provisions of Rule 16 of the Rajasthan Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1958 for the charge of remaining absent from duties unauthorizedly. The disciplinary authority after holding inquiry reached at the conclusion that the employee remained absent from service for a period of 1908 days. No appeal was filed by the petitioner giving challenge to the order dated 27.8.1996 and now this petition for writ is preferred to challenge the order passed by the disciplinary authority on 19.3.2007. The petition is suffering from delay for a period of more than ten years. No adequate reason is given to condone such an inordinate delay. At this belated stage I do not find any reason to interfere with the order passed by the disciplinary authority. Accordingly, the petition for writ is dismissed. (GOVIND MATHUR), J. Jgoyal '
