Ram Chander v. The Engineer-In-Chief Haryana Public Works Department Etc.

IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH

CWP-3550-1999 (O&M) Date of decision: May 11, 2022 Ram Chander

...Petitioner

versus The Engineer-in-Chief Haryana Public Works Department and others

...Respondents

CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ARUN MONGA

Present:

None for the petitioner.

Mr. R.D. Sharma, DAG, Haryana.

***** ARUN MONGA, J. (ORAL) Petition was filed in the year 1999, inter alia, for issuance of a writ in the nature of certiorari to quash the impugned seniority list dated 24.1.1999 (Annexure P-13). Further prayer has been made for issuance of a writ in the nature of mandamus directing the respondents to promote the petitioner as Deputy Superintendent.

2.

Petition was admitted on 11.03.2002.

3.

When called out for hearing, there is no representation on behalf of the petitioner. 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.

Be that as it may, writ petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to file an appropriate application in case, any cause of action still survives.
