IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No. 4626 of 2009 DATE OF DECISION : 24.03.2009 Raghbir Singh .... PETITIONER Versus State Bank of Patiala and another ..... RESPONDENTS CORAM :- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SATISH KUMAR MITTAL Present: Mr. H.S. Baath, Advocate, for the petitioner. * * * SATISH KUMAR MITTAL , J. The petitioner was working as PCF in State Bank of Patiala. Vide order dated 17.12.2005, he was removed from service with immediate effect with superannuation benefits i.e. Pension and/or Provident Fund and Gratuity as would be due otherwise under the Rules or Regulations. The said punishment was imposed after a regular enquiry conducted against him. Against that order, the petitioner filed an appeal, which was also dismissed by the Appellate Authority on 3.3.2006. After more than three years of the said order, the instant petition has been filed by the petitioner on the ground that he was illegally proceeded against in the enquiry, without associating him. Neither in the petition nor during the course of arguments, CWP No. 4626 of 2009 -2- learned counsel for the petitioner could point out any explanation for the long delay in filing this petition. Therefore, I do not find any reason to entertain this petition at this belated stage. Dismissed. March 24, 2009 ( SATISH KUMAR MITTAL ) ndj JUDGE
