W.P.(C) NO. 26555 OF 2009 (L)
--------------------------------------------------
Dated this the 20th day of October, 2009
J U D G M E N T
Petitioner, who retired from service on 31.3.2007, has
now approached this court with the two claims. One is that,
in October 1996 he ought to have been granted Selection
Grade and that it was not given to him, but was given to his
junior. The other is that additional increment on completion
of 8 years of service as Assistant Grade-II fell due in 1981
and that the same was not granted. It is stated that Ext.P6
representation made in this behalf also has not evoked any
response. It is in these circumstances the writ petition is
filed.
In my view, the writ petition filed at this stage is highly
belated and for delay and laches alone the writ petition is
liable to be dismissed. Writ petition is accordingly
dismissed.
