For the appellant : Mr. Bindhyachal Singh, Adv. For the U.O.I. : Mr. Mithilesh Kumar, Sr. Adv. Mr.Vhiv Kumar, CGC. 4. 18.10.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the Union of India. The appellant was a constable in the uniformed Service of Central Reserve Police Force who, for unauthorized absence of about six months, was subjected to disciplinary proceeding in which charges were found proved and on that account he was removed from service by order dated 4th April, 2005. The appeal was also dismissed on 30th August 2005 and the Revisional authority dismissed the revision on 20th January 2006. In such circumstances, the delay of 4 ½ years in challenging the order, in our view, has rightly been taken to be adverse circumstance for granting the relief to the appellant in the extra ordinary writ jurisdiction. We find no good reason to interfere with the view taken by the writ court. The L.P.A. is, accordingly, dismissed. Jay/ (Shiva Kirti Singh,J) (Shivaji Pandey,J)
