    Summary of CWP-26227-2017 (Darshan Singh v. Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam Ltd.) The High Court of Punjab and Haryana dismissed three consolidated writ petitions seeking appointment as Assistant Lineman from an expired waiting list. The court held that the waiting list from a 2008 advertisement expired in April 2011 per 1988 Haryana Government instructions, and candidates had no vested right to appointment after expiry. The petitioner's claim was barred by delay and laches, having approached the court in August 2018—over seven years later—and the court rejected parity arguments based on earlier single-bench judgments, which a Division Bench had already distinguished and confined to specific facts. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
