    Summary: The High Court of Himachal Pradesh dismissed Dhani Ram's petition seeking regularization as Mechanic-cum-Fitter Grade-I from 1998 instead of Grade-II. The court held that the appointment to Grade-II was lawful under Recruitment and Promotion Rules, as Grade-I positions are filled exclusively through promotion. The petition was rejected primarily on grounds of delay—the petitioner raised the issue only in 2009, over a decade after his 1999 appointment, and failed to challenge it immediately or demonstrate any arbitrary discrimination by the respondents.
