Sanjeev Kumar v. State Of Haryana

IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH

CWP-5435-1999 (O&M) Date of decision: May 11, 2022 Sanjeev Kumar

...Petitioner

versus State of Haryana and others

...Respondents

CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ARUN MONGA

Present:

Mr. Anil Rathee, 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 mandamus directing the respondents to appoint the petitioner as Inspector of Police on Compassionate grounds as his father, working as Deputy Superintendent of Police died in harness on 07.02.1994.

2.

Petition was filed in the year 1999 and has been lying admitted ever since. When called out for hearing, learned counsel is unable to assist the Court for lack of instructions. Learned counsel for the petitionerstates 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 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.
