IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH

CWP-5470-1999 (O&M) Date of decision: May 11, 2022 Kanta Devi

...Petitioner

versus State of Haryana 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 mandamus directing respondent No.2 to promote the petitioner as Head Constable with effect from the date junior to the petitioner i.e. respondent No.5, has been promoted with consequential relief. 2.

Petition was admitted on 22.01.2002.

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.
