    Case Summary: CWP-14552-2026 Naresh Kumar v. State of Punjab and Others (High Court of Punjab and Haryana, 11.05.2026) The court dismissed the petitioner's writ petition challenging rejection of his employment claim under the Ranjit Sagar Dam Rehabilitation & Resettlement Scheme (1993). Although the petitioner's mother's land was acquired for dam construction, his claim was rejected because another family member (Chain Singh) had already received employment under the policy. The court held the petitioner's plea was barred by substantial delay and laches—he approached the court 28 years after acquisition completion and 12 years after formal rejection. The court clarified that oustee employment is a one-time concession (not a vested right) meant for immediate relief, and the long delay eliminated any continuing cause of action.
