Joginder Singh v. Chairman, Haryana Vidyut Parsaran Nigam

IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA

AT CHANDIGARH Sr. No.556 CWP-12718-1999 (O&M) Date of decision: May 18, 2022 Joginder Singh

...Petitioner

Versus

Chairman, Haryana Vidyut Parsaran Nigam Ltd. and Others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ARUN MONGA

Present:

Mr. G.S. Jaswal, Advocate for the petitioner.

Mr. R.D. Sharma, Deputy Advocate General, Haryana. ***** ARUN MONGA, J. (ORAL) Petition was filed in the year 1999, inter alia, for issuance of a writ in the nature of mandamus directing the respondents to give employment to the petitioner to bring out his family out of harness due to death of his father, who was working as Assistant Foreman.

2.

Petition was filed in the year 1999 and has been lying admitted since 02.11.2000. When called out for hearing, learned counsel is unable to assist the Court for lack of instructions. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner states that despite attempts, his office could not contact the petitioner. 3.

It seems that by sheer effluxion of time and pendency of the writ petition for more than 22 years before this Court, it has been rendered infructuous and/or the petitioner seems to have lost interest in pursuing the same. 4.

In any case, it appears that even on merits, claim of the petitioner has become stale in view of the fact that he has become overage by now for being eligible to be appointed.

5.

In the premise, petition is dismissed.
