1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment?

2. To be referred to the Reporters or not?

3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The appellant assails the order dated 30.03.2015 whereby learned Single judge has dismissed his writ petition on the ground of delay and laches.

The facts are not in dispute. The appellant filed the instant writ petition in the year 2015 seeking direction for his promotion as Senior Manager (Grade-E) from the year 2003 (instead of 2009). He was admittedly superseded in the year 2003. He represented against his supersession which was rejected vide a speaking order dated 29.05.2008 (P-5). Even thereafter, the appellant took seven years to approach the Court. In these circumstances, the reluctance shown by learned MOHINDER KUMAR 2015.08.05 12:00 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document Chandigarh

LPA No.767 of 2015 (O&M) [2] Single Judge to exercise writ jurisdiction calls for no interference by us.

Dismissed.
