versus State of Haryana and another

...Respondents

CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ARUN MONGA

Present:

Mr. R.K.Malik, Senior Advocate with Mr. Sandeep Dhull, Advocate, For the petitioner.

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

***** ARUN MONGA, J. (ORAL) Petition herein, inter alia, is for issuance of a writ in the nature of certiorari to quash impugned order dated 31.01.1998 (Annexure P-5) vide which stoppage of one grade increment with cumulative effect was ordered and period from 21.12.1989 to 26.01.1990 and 26.02.1990 to 17.09.1993 was treated as willful absence.

2.

Petition was filed in the year 2000 and has been lying admitted ever since. Learned Senior counsel submits that though he is appearing but is unable to assist as not only the paper book of the case has been lost in his office but even attempts of his instructing counsel to establish contact with the petitioner have been futile. He thus pleads lack of instructions. 3.

It seems that by sheer effluxion of time and pendency of the writ petition for more than 21 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.
