    Summary: The High Court of Punjab and Haryana dismissed Ajmer Singh's writ petition seeking pensionary benefits, leave encashment, gratuity, and salary arrears for the period he was suspended/dismissed (29.09.1988 to 22.01.1990). The court held that Singh could not challenge the 1990 reinstatement resolution and the 1994 order explicitly denying such benefits after accepting them without protest for 26 years, and his filing the petition in 2016—17 years after retirement—constituted inordinate delay without reasonable explanation, making the doctrine of delay and laches applicable.
