    Case Summary: CWP/13499/2026 The High Court of Punjab and Haryana dismissed Kulwant Singh's writ petition challenging the rejection of his departmental appeal as time-barred. Singh, a Punjab Roadways conductor appointed in 1977, filed an appeal on 04.09.2024 against five punishment orders (stoppage of increments) issued between 1977-1983, but approached authorities after an inordinate 47-41 year delay. The court held that such gross, unexplained delay defeats equitable relief and disentitles petitioners from discretionary relief under Article 226, applying the settled principle that "equity aids the vigilant and not those who sleep over their rights." This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
